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). |

The CRAVE project aims to reduce rural human population’s vulnerability and food insecurity to climate risks and threats while increasing the adaptive capacity, well-being and resilience of the vulnerable small-scale farming communities in crop production landscapes that are threatened by climate variability and change. The project is built on the government strong baseline investment made in light of the Namibia Comprehensive Conservation Agriculture Programme (NCCAP) and revised Namibia Agriculture Policy of 2015. It will run over a period of 60 months consisting of three components with five separate (for administration purposes) but directly indivisible interlinked outcomes to be attained, which are fully elaborated in section C. CRAVE has two sub-objectives: a) To strengthen the adaptive capacity, scale up adoption of effective coping mechanisms and measures (for example comprehensive conservation agriculture and micro drip irrigation), and implement on-the-ground adaptation actions and practices that assist vulnerable subsistence farmers3 (i.e. females and males) to reduce vulnerabilities to climate change, erratic weather patterns, seasonal rainfall shifts, heat and drought.
b) To provide rural crop males and females farmers with alternative sustainable access to off-grid solar energy technologies (water pumping for small-scale micro horticultural systems, and refrigeration for harvested food) and reduce the dependency of increasingly expensive (and environmentally unfriendly) imported fuels by promoting solar water pumping in the agricultural sector. |

The proposed GCF project will use large-scale Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) – a costeffective and low-risk approach for building climate resilience over large rural landscapes – to effect this paradigm shift. The objective of the project is consequently to build the climate-resilience of rural Gambian communities and facilitate the development of a sustainable natural resource-based (green) economy by implementing large-scale EbA within and adjacent to agricultural areas, community-managed forest reserves and wildlife conservation areas. This will entail: a) restoring degraded forests and agricultural landscapes with climate-resilient plant species that provide goods for consumption or sale; and b) facilitating the establishment of commercially viable natural resource-based businesses to be managed by community-based organizations.

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. |

The project has three components, of which the first one seeks to enhance capacities of rural communities reliant on ecosystem goods and services through developing landscape strategies and coordination mechanisms that are community-led in the eight landscapes. Landscape governance systems through participatory decision-making processes among community groups themselves or neighboring communities will be implemented, while promoting knowledge sharing among communities and other stakeholders outside the target landscape will be the focus to upscale and replicate the activities. Once strategic interventions regarding capacity enhancement has been established, component two will support specific EbA activities that are organized and executed to support the implementation of landscape strategies. This will be achieved though the implementation of a Small Grant Finance mechanism to address the financial, capacity and adaptation needs. Component three will support learning and knowledge management activities with the aim to capture and disseminate lessons learned and to influence policy. |

Southern Zimbabwe has experienced increasing temperatures since the 1950s with a decline in total annual precipitation and an increase in mid-season dry spells coupled with extreme weather events in the form of droughts and floods. These changes in climate have reduced water availability and increased soil aridity, resulting in declining agricultural yields and impacting the livelihoods of smallholder farmers in this region. In Southern Zimbabwe, rainfall is predicted to decrease by 15 per cent and runoff by 20 per cent in provinces of Manicaland, Masvingo and Matabeleland South, leading to higher food deficits and higher food prices, as well as higher number of drought-related livestock deaths. The project proposes to address these observed and projected climate impacts and build the resilience of smallholder farmers in three semi-arid agroecological regions of southern Zimbabwe. |

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). |

Introducing improved water supply and management systems will increase local communities’ productive capacity as well as the water ecosystem’s carrying capacity. The three main activities will be introducing solar-powered water pumping and small-scale irrigation, the rehabilitation and management of degraded lands around the water sources, and creating an enabling environment by raising awareness and improving local capacity. Over 50% of the beneficiaries will be women, with 30% of households being female-headed. |

The project will expand the meteorological network, instal automatic weather stations, hydrological monitoring stations, and lake-based weather buoys, as well as increase the capacity to identify risks and forecast impacts. Resulting information will be better disseminated through mobile, ICT, and radio channels targeting vulnerable farming communities, as well as fishing communities around Lake Malawi. Flood modelling for river systems will be improved, increasing warning times from 6 hours and under to 24- 48 hours. The private sector, including telecoms and micro and small enterprises will be engaged. |
