RBM for climate change adaptation and mitigation

Bruce Campbell, Phil Thornton, Pramod Aggarwal

Outline

• Background (Climate change targets, CCAFS)

• Global and regional impact pathways and targets

• Regional coherence

• Planning and reporting system

• Managing for results

• Lessons learnt

• Q & A

Climate change targets

• UNFCCC “measurable, reportable and verifiable” (MRV) – GHGs and

adaptation actions

• Alliance for Climate Smart Agriculture Protect 500 million farmers from climate change

• SDG No 13 Strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity

Integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies, and planning

• Building farmer resilience

• Emissions reductions

FS2. Climate information

services and climate-

informed safety nets

FS3. Low emissions

development

FS4. Policies and institutions

for climate-resilient food

systems

FS1. Climate smart

technologies, practices,

and portfolios

Regional Programs

• Key feature: fits into an impact pathway

• Large bodies of work (e.g. US$1.5 million)

• Any kind of funds; single or multiple Centers

Projects

Process adopted

• RBM trial on one Flagship/Theme (2013-2014)

• Iterative planning (2014)

• Knowledge platform: Planning & Reporting system

• Define global impact pathways

• Define regional impact pathways

• Calls for ideas

• Regional planning meetings: targets, IPs

25 national and subnational major development

initiatives and public institutions prioritize and inform

project implementation of equitable best bet CSA

options using CCAFS science and decision support tools

2 +3

15 public-private actors at national and subnational

levels are using incentive mechanisms and new

business models/ markets that explicitly promote

equitable climate smart approaches along the value

chain, using CCAFS science

30 mio. farmers, at

least 12 mio. of

whom are women,

with strengthened

adaptive capacity and

food security as a

result of programmatic

CSA investment.

CCAFS-SA: Regional Impact Pathway

Regional Vision Large-scale investments in science-informed climate smart agriculture

practices, institutions and policies in the region, leading to long-term food

security and poverty reduction

FS1: OUTCOME Governments,

private sector and

farmer organizations

increase their

investments and

develop incentive

mechanisms to

promote wide scale

adoption of improved

CSA practices and

technologies

FS2: OUTCOME Partners use tools

and knowledge to

improve ICT-based

agro advisory

services and

weather-related

insurance services

to smallholder

farmers

FS3: OUTCOME Global

organizations and

national / sub-

national

governments make

rational decisions

about mitigation in

agriculture based

on local, regional

and global

evidences

FS4: OUTCOME National and sub-

national

governments

develop CSA

policies and

strengthen related

institutions based on

evidences from

case studies, data,

tools, and models

FS1: CSA practices

and technologies

Technologies and practices Local development planning

Annual planning

Generate info

needed for

POWB

Annual reporting

against:

• outcomes

• targets

• deliverables

Generate reports

on topics needed

for annual reporting

M&E RBM

Managing for results

• Each Project has to:

Collect data on the indicators

Detail achievements in terms of its contributions to the steps in the impact pathway

Produce case studies on outcomes achieved

• Annual achievements of Projects, Regions, Flagships can be assessed

• Bonus allocation for excellent performances

Lessons learnt

• Time and resources needed

• New capacities needed

• Make systems “good enough”, practical, not the

best they could be

• RBM trial projects are doing things differently

Summary

• Major shift for CCAFS – new portfolio

• Interlinked impact pathways, from project to global levels

• Interlinked targets and milestones along impact pathways

• Platform for planning, reporting and monitoring

• Continual learning for RBM, adaptive managment: learning briefs, wiki, M&E resources
