In its mission to improve and strengthen African resilience to the challenges of climate change in the field of agriculture, and in accordance with its strategic plan 2020 - 2030, the pan-African and indigenous organization Climate Change Africa Opportunities (CCAO) has developed its enthusiasm for the development of climate-resilient agriculture in Africa.
Indeed, climate-resilient agriculture focuses on the three pillars of strengthening food security: (a) sustainable increase in production, (b) strengthening of resilience (adaptation) to climate change and (c) reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, where possible and appropriate.
Climate-resilient agriculture is not a set of practices; it is an approach of selection and implementation of agricultural practices, policies and services adapted to the context, in time and space, and integrated, so that they work together to maximize synergy and minimize tradeoffs. What works for one group of farmers - because of their location, culture and location - may not work for another group. This approach requires the evaluation of the impacts of an investment based on the biophysical, agricultural and socio-economic context of a given place.
This investment plan is a strategic and in-depth planning document allowing Climate Change Africa Opportunities (CCAO) to propose agricultural development projects with high potential and high quality which may be the subject of possible partnership links with partners. and donors involved in supporting the resilience of agriculture in the context of climate change in Africa.
