1. CCAFS Vision of intended impact By 2020, contribute to cross-sectoral efforts to reduce poverty by 10%, increasing the incomes of hundreds of millions of people By 2020, contribute to a reduction in hunger, whereby the number of rural poor who are undernourished declines by 25% By 2020, help agriculture contribute to climate change mitigation by enhancing storage or reducing emissions, by 1000 Mt CO2-eq (considering all gases) below the “business-as-usual” scenario.

2. Output 4.2.2 Socially-differentiated decision aids and information developed and communicated for different stakeholders Milestone 4.2.2 2012 Partnership and strategy development for targeting decision support tools. Milestone 4.2.2 2013 Decision aids developed in selected sites in 3 initial target regions that build on the information needs of socially- and gender differentiated target groups. Milestone 4.2.2 2014 Decision aids tested in selected sites in target regions that build on the information needs of socially- and gender differentiated target groups. Milestone 4.2.2 2015 Collation of decision aids and tools for prioritizing adaptation and mitigation actions at national/sub-national scales, with pilot testing in IGP region. Objective 4.2 Assemble data and tools for analysis and planning Outcome 4.2 Improved frameworks, databases and methods for planning responses to climate change used by national agencies in at least 20 countries and by at least 10 key international and regional agencies

3. Social differentiation Capacity enhancement Action research Scalability & potential size of impact Probability of success & durability Communicating uncertainty CCAFS: – Works through partnerships at site level – Role to provide syntheses/comparisons across sites and regions (of tools & approaches, results & lessons learnt)

4. CCAFS funding primarily through CGIAR – Highly volatile Requirement to leverage additional funding Theme 4.2 resources for partners under this activity – To fund: seed activities, innovative high risk ideas, proposal writing workshops, synthesis studies, tool development – Requirement: partnerships!

5. Linking K with A Principles How the research is done matters, a lot! Identify and involve the knowledge users in problem definition Innovation systems approach – putting partners first Boundary Spanning Build capacity to innovate/ support institutional change Manage asymmetries of power

6. Baselines Same tools, methods used across all CCAFS sites and time To be revisited in 5 & 10 years to measure impact, i.e. behavioral change (not attribution) CCAFS Baseline Household level (140 household per site): basic indicators on welfare, information sources, livelihood/agriculture/natural resource management strategies, needs and uses of information Village level (1 village per site): focus group discussions, socially differentiated, on resource access, organisational landscapes, sources of information Organisational level (10-15 organisations per site): provision of services and information to farming communities All tools and data available at http://ccafs.cgiar.org/resources/baseline-surveys http://ccafs.cgiar.org/resources/baseline-surveys

9. Kisumu/Nyando Basin (western Kenya) Economics of Biochar (Cornell) MICCA – East African Dairy Development (FAO, ICRAF, ILRI, KARI, private sector partners) COMART Community-led assets/value chains CARE – carbon payments to smallholders ICRAF – GHG measurement in complex landscapes Vi Agroforestry – SLM, carbon payments CCAFS Participatory Action Research – with ILRI, Vi, World Neighbours, CBOs, Min of Ag, Min of LS, KARI: training, K sharing, etc in: Water harvesting Agroforestry Small ruminant management Beekeeping Seed systems Post-harvest handling and storage Fodder development Participatory crop selection Lake Victoria CCAFS Baseline site CARE, PAR

10. Pro-poor, pro-women strategies East African Dairy Development (FAO, ICRAF, ILRI, KARI, private sector partners) – hub model; training of women; women leaders; joint signatures; payments directly to women COMART - Community-led asset and value chain focus; working with women’s groups; women’s trainings CARE/CCAFS/ICRAF – carbon payments to smallholders – institutional issues including strategies for ensuring benefits to women (e.g. women’s trees, women’s groups, etc); evaluating women’s participation and constraints CCAFS/ILRI Participatory Action Research – Participatory crop selection with women, support/training to women’s groups, others?

11. Challenges How do we ensure the ‘learning loops’ happen?? We want lessons that are more broadly applicable - cross-site/region opportunities Seasonal forecast use; adoption of climate- resilient practices (e.g. improved water and soil management; new varieties; planting trees on farms, etc.), etc.
