Scientists
at
the
World
Agroforestry
Centre
(ICRAF),
the
International
Center
for
Tropical
Agriculture(CIAT),
the
International
Maize
and
Wheat
Improvement
Center
(CIMMYT),
and
the
International
Livestock
Research
Institute
(ILRI)
are
developing
two
“Practical
Guides”
(PGs)
on
Climate-­‐
Smart
Agriculture
(CSA),
partnering
with
African
governments
and
Universities,
the
New
Economic
Partnership
for
African
Development
(NEPAD),
UN
Food
Agriculture
Organisation
(FAO),
the
Common
Market
for
Eastern
and
Southern
Africa
(COMESA),
and
civil
society
organisations.
The
first
PG
has
already
been
cited
by
the
Kenyan
CSA
Country
Program,
which
has
informed
Kenya’s
Intended
Nationally
Determined
Contributions
(INDC)
to
the
United
Nations
Framework
Convention
on
Climate
Change
(UNFCCC).
PG1
is
focused
on
disseminating
conservation
agriculture
techniques.
Although
the
second
PG
is
still
a
work
in
progress,
it
will
likely
influence
the
plans
of
at
least
five
national
governments,
three
Regional
Economic
Communities,
and
five
inernational
Nongovernmental
Organisations
(iNGOs).
PG2
will
develop
based
on
stakeholder
feedback
received
from
PG1,
with
a
new
“farming
component-­‐based”
approach.
The
funding
landscape
for
CSA
is
rapidly
developing,
meaning
that
both
Practical
Guides
have
the
potential
to
influence
millions
of
dollars
of
investments
in
the
near
future.
