Watch the video recording on the CCAFS youtube channel.
The Adaptation for Smallholder Agriculture Programme (ASAP), a global programme of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), is the world’s largest climate change adaptation programme focused on smallholder farmers, which invests more than USD 300 million in more than 30 developing countries to increase the resilience of at least eight million smallholder farmers to climate-related shocks and stresses. ASAP captures lessons from its efforts and addresses its knowledge needs through a Learning Alliance with the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). A key focus of the Alliance, in partnership with CARE International has been to generate lessons on integrating gender in adaptation projects with smallholder farmers. This event will share lessons generated, provide guidance to implementers, and set out a research and action agenda for further work in this area.
