There has been growing concern for policy level initiatives and investment priorities required
for scaling climate smart agriculture practices (CSAPs). Over a period of 5 years (2013-2017),
science based evidence has been generated on key scalable climate smart agriculture under
the CCAFS flagship project on CSA in collaboration with CRPs on Wheat, Maize, Rice agrifood
systems as well as range of partnerships (NARS, NGOs, Private Sector, Farmer
organizations etc). CIMMYT-CCAFS in collaboration with number of sub-national, national
and international stakeholders informed the key policy planners, Governments and
development agencies on these CSAPs through several consultations, communication
materials (policy brief, video, research articles etc), organizing several events (field days,
travelling seminars, workshops, policy dialogues, training programs etc) and generated
awareness among the different stakeholders. These systematic efforts have led to up scaling
of CSAPs through their mainstreaming in investment programs to address the issue of
natural resource degradation, environmental pollution and climatic risks. This document
provides evidence base on policy level engagement process, partnerships and events for outscaling
CSAPs by the sub-national governments and other key stakeholders.
