‘Promoting the Resilience of Economies in Semi-arid Areas’ (PRISE for its English acronym) is a global, collaborative and applied research programme between multiple international partners and countries,
including Burkina Faso. Within the framework of PRISE, Burkina Faso has benefited from three research projects: P1, P3 and P7. P1 focuses on future migration. P3 is focused on the impacts of climate change on private actors in the cotton value chain. Finally, P7 centres on water governance in semi-arid lands. P7 specifically examined how agricultural communities in the Central Plateau of Burkina Faso – a semi-arid region
of high food insecurity - manage water and land resources in the context of increasing climate variability (Newborne and Gansaonré, 2017). P1, P3 and P7 act as interconnected and complementary projects within this broader research context. |

The implementation of silvo-pastoral inter-village spaces is an endogenous initiative developed by local communities in the groundnut basin of Senegal. Its aim is to address the combined effects of climate change and resource degradation. The main objective of the initiative is to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable rural populations living in ecologically fragile areas of Senegal through the sustainable management of community inter-village silvo-pastoral reserves. This practice has also shown to improve soil carbon sequestration and the resilience of local species (Diouf et al., 2014). Forest products (wood and non-wood products) from these areas increasingly provide sustainable sources of incomes for rural populations. In the groundnut basin, there exist a number of species and products with high socio-economic potential. In addition, these areas provide environmental services, for example through reducing erosion and improving soil fertility (Sanogo, 2011). |

The project ”Strategic mainstreaming of ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) in Vietnam” provides the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment with technical support to systematically integrate innovative ecosystem-based solutions into national and local adaptation planning. To that end it offers capacity training to stakeholders at both the national and provincial level. Moreover, it provides technical support to facilitate the implementation of EbA measures on the ground. |

To reduce the farmers’ vulnerability to intensifying natural disasters and increasing rainfall variability, the PCIC, with support from UNDP, launched the “Scaling Up Risk Transfer Mechanisms for Climate Vulnerable Agriculture-Based Communities in Mindanao” project in 2014. The project sought to:
a) expand the uptake of a pilot-tested weather index-based insurance (WIBI) to 2,000 agricultural households in two regions on the island of Mindanao;
b) create awareness among the farmers to improve agricultural productivity and local disaster risk management.
Mindanao was chosen as the implementation area of the project because it is the “food basket” of Philippines, and, thus, critical to the country’s food security. It is also one of the poorest regions in the Philippines, with a high prevalence of small-scale farmers who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. |

the Decentralising Climate Funds (DCF) seeks to support adaptation initiatives led by communities and local authorities. In this sense, it aims to strengthen the resilience of communities, particularly women and young people, by enabling them to prioritise investments in public goods that deliver a high socio-economic impact. These investments are identified and prioritised by the communities themselves against a devolved climate finance budget managed by local governments. The vision of the DCF project is to build an inclusive and sustainable local financing mechanism that encourages decentralised allocation of climate funds to improve the resilience of populations. |

In this context, the CAR launched the Boxes of Resilience programme. The overarching goal of the Boxes of Resilience approach is to allow communities in rural areas to make better use of their existing capacities in various areas and ways. In the CAR, the goal was to empower rural smallholders to better manage climate-related risks and seize local opportunities. Through improving farming techniques, financial capacities and governance structures at the community level, the programme sought to strengthen community resilience in the wake of climate change and with a view to address other, interrelated and structural socio-economic issues. The programme was initiated through a partnership between the CAR through its Ministry of Agriculture and national
and international NGOs. |

Government of Nepal adopted the Climate Budget Code in 2012 to track budget allocation to the climate-related plans and programmes of the government (CFADE, 2016). This represented one of the first attempts globally to track and tag a national climate budget. The code identifies programmes as being either 1) highly relevant, 2) relevant or 3) neutral to the climate. The information generated by the climate budget code since 2012 shows that the budget allocated to climate-related plans and programmes at the national level has been steadily rising. To make its climate budget more focused on the activity level, MoALD in collaboration with UNDP recently started piloting an approach to further structure and highlight the climate relevance of a project within the agriculture sector by testing a modified coding method to assess the climate finance flows at the activity level. The overall objective of the exercise is to ensure that the budget allocated for climate-related programmes is reaching the intended activity and relevant beneficiaries such as farmers. This would result in addressing climate concerns of farmers and help them better prepare for and respond to emerging climate threats. |

As a result of climate change, the community of Tumani Tenda has experienced erratic rainfall for many years, leading to a decline in agricultural production, loss of vegetation and biodiversity, including birds and animals. All of these factors have led to a loss of income (Drame and Kiema, 2016). This situation has led actors in this area to initiate the practice of ecotourism. This has included direct community involvement in the protection of the region’s natural resources through activities such as protecting the communal forest and establishing an ecotourism camp including modest accommodation, food services, extraction and sale of forest products owned and managed by the community. The activities in Tumani Tenda are supported by various organisations, including the National Environment Agency (NEA), the Saint Joseph Family Farm project and the Ministry of Water and Forests (ibid). |
