Events

The International center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) and the CGIAR Research Programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) are dedicated to working with National Partners to develop and implement appropriate site-specific adaptation strategies. CIAT and CCAFS are also committed to capacity development of national partners. CIAT has a long history collaborating with the Tanzania National Agricultural Research Institute. We will therefore conduct a 3- day data analysis workshop for Tanzanian scientists.

Specific objectives will be:

1)      To demonstrate tools for data analysis, including open-source software "R" and GIS programs;

2)      Work with real data sets on modeling agronomic and social data;

3)      Develop joint site-specific adaptation strategies for implementation at the Lushoto benchmark site.

Participants will include scientists from each of the Tanzania Agricultural Research Institutes, (with Policy, or Soils or Agronomy background), staff from Lushoto District Agricultural Office, farmers from Lushoto district, and CIAT scientists (soils, ag economics, spatial and climate change analysis experts).

Activities and Outputs:

• Knowledge sharing of Land Management/Climate Change projects in Tanzania
• Analysis of agronomic and biophysical data for the Lushoto Benchmark Site.
• Develop appropriate, site-specific adaptation strategies for the Lushoto site.
• Develop an implementation plan for the adaptation strategies.
