Item Adapting locally to global climate change : experiences from rural Africa; dialogue report(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) O'Neill, MaryItem Application de la recherche-action participative à l'adaptation aux changements climatiques en Afrique : manuel de référence(Centre pour la recherche forestière internationale (CIFOR), Bogor, ID, 2012) German, Laura A.; Tiani, Anne-Marie; Daoudi, Ali; Maravanyika, Tendayi Mutimukuru; Chuma, EdwardItem Application of participatory action research to climate change adaptation in Africa : a reference guide(Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), Bogor, ID, 2012) German, Laura A.; Tiani, Anne-Marie; Daoudi, Ali; Maravanyika, Tendayi Mutimukuru; Chuma, EdwardThe Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) program works to establish a self-sustained African body of expertise on adaptation defined by African communities, decision-makers, and institutions. This Reference Guide presents a “best bet” approach to the application of participatory action research (PAR) in addressing adaptation challenges. Diverse PAR tools and processes are portrayed in detail, including basics used throughout the PAR process (facilitation, process documentation), preparatory steps in building teams and engaging stakeholders, ways of understanding the problem or opportunity and conceptualizing change, planning, managing of change, and the role of empirical research as inputs to decision making.Item Building adaptive capacity to cope with increasing vulnerability due to climate change : final technical report - Zimbabwe (30 September 2010)(Midlands State University, Gweru, ZW, 2010) Mugabe, F.T.; Munodawafa, A.; Dimes, J.; Nanja, D.H.; Carberry, P.Baseline data to describe cropping system and management under current climate variability and farmer perceptions about climate change across 4 districts of Zimbabwe and Zambia was collected and analyzed. Indigenous knowledge of climate and indicators to seasonal conditions were also documented and compared with scientific forecasts. Prediction of seasonal climate was consistent with that from the meteorological department. Seven workshops were held to educate farmers and extension agents on interpretation of the Seasonal Climate Forecast (SCF) and explore together its application in making cropping decisions. Management options in response to the SCF were then tested in participatory on-farm trials.Item Building adaptive capacity to cope with increasing vulnerability due to climate change : report of the Inception Workshop, Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, 7-8 June 2007(Midlands State University, Gweru, ZW, 2007) Mugabe, FrancisParticipants at the inception workshop included officials from universities, meteorological offices, and extension services from Zambia and Zimbabwe, as well as scientists from various international organizations. The objectives were to familiarize participants with farmers’ perceptions of climate change, as well as with current work on adaptation to climate change. This report provides detailed summaries of the presentations and discussions at the meeting, such as current coping strategies, reliability of meteorological data, Agromet information dissemination, precipitation changes, and farmer’s perceptions of climate quality.Item Cadre de partage de connaissances d'ACCA(CRDI, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) O'Neill, MaryItem CCAA knowledge sharing framework(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) O'Neill, MaryItem Developing and writing a research proposal : instruction manual(OSSREA, Addis Ababa, ET, 2007) Mmuya, MaximilianItem Enhancing smallhoders' capacity to cope with climate change : use of seasonal climate forecasts(2012) Mugabe, Francis T.; Admassu, Habtamu; Sall, Amadou; Omolo, Nancy A.; Honkponou, SaidThis document is one of a series of factsheets that aim to share practical experience of how Participatory Action Research (PAR) can be used to trigger technological, social and institutional innovation in Africa to enhance smallholders’ adaptive capacity in the face of climate change and increased climate variability. The uniqueness of this approach is the integration of the “what” (the technologies) with the “how” (PAR) and the “why” (increased capacity of smallholders to cope with climate change).Item Enhancing smallholders' capacity to cope with climate change : participatory action research and integrated soil fertility management(2012) Mapfumo, Paul; Adjei-Nsiah, Samuel; Mahoo, Henry; Majule, AmosThis document is one of a series of factsheets that aim to share practical experience of how Participatory Action Research (PAR) can be used to trigger technological, social and institutional innovation in Africa to enhance smallholders’ adaptive capacity in the face of climate change and increased climate variability. The uniqueness of this approach is the integration of the “what” (the technologies) with the “how” (PAR) and the “why” (increased capacity of smallholders to cope with climate change).Item Final report on CCAA Outcome Mapping Workshop (September 10-14, 2007)(IDRC, Ottawa, ON, CA, 2007) Kelpin, KevinThe Outcome Mapping (OM) process assists in project monitoring, evaluation, and tracking achievement of outcomes. Climate Change Adaptation in Africa Program (CCAA) education and training activities are delivered through workshops, hands-on training awards and Fellowships. One of the CCAA training activities is “Training on Research Project Management.” As part of this specific training activity, the consultant facilitated a workshop on the monitoring and evaluation methodology, Outcome Mapping. Partner organization team members worked together in groups to produce an OM framework specific to the their CCAA supported project.Item Formulation et rédaction d'une proposition de recherche : manuel de formation(OSSREA, Addis Abeba, ET, 2007) Mmuya, MaximilianItem IDRC/CCAA Capacity Building Workshop on "Integrated Climate Risk Assessment" 27-31 August 2007, Nairobi : workshop report(IGAD Climate Prediction and Application Centre (ICPAC), Nairobi, KE, 2007) Oludhe, Chris; IAGD Climate Prediction and Application Centre (ICPAC); University of Cheikh Diop (UCAD)In spite of the many commonalities shared by countries in Africa and the fact that some belong to regional economic and political groupings, there is little common practice and sharing of adaptation experience. There are many reasons why a shared regional approach to adaptation makes sense. The workshop covered the science of climate change, vulnerability and adaptation assessments and research methods.Item IDRC/CCAA Capacity Building Workshop on "Integrated Climate Risk Assessment" : workshop report(ICPAC, Nairobi, KE, 2007) IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC); University of Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD)Item IDRC/CCAA Capacity Building Workshop on "Integrated Climate Risk Assessment" : workshop training manual(ICPAC, Nairobi, KE, 2007) Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC); University of Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD)The Integrated Climate Risk Assessment workshop was held in Nairobi (2007). This manual is a compilation of materials that were used at the workshop. Topics covered in the Modules include: General Concepts of Climate Risk Management; Methods and Tools for Integrated Climate Risk Management; Adaptation strategies; Mainstreaming Climate Risk Management in development policies; Capacity and benefits of CCAA funded projects. The Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) programme aims to significantly improve the capacity of African countries to adapt to climate change in ways that benefit the most vulnerable.Item Manuel de formation aux changements climatiques(AGRHYMET, Niamey, NE, 2007) AGRHYMET (Centre Regional de Formation et d'Application en Agrométéorologie et Hydrologie Opérationnelle); University of Cheikh Anta Dio (UCAD)Item Partenariat ACCA-organisations représentatives des groupes à risque, Dakar, 26-27 juillet 2007 : rapport d'atelier(CRDI, Dakar, SN, 2007) Kaeré, Alioune Badara; Denton, FatimaItem Participatory action research to enhance the adaptive capacity of smallholder farmers to better respond to climate change and variability : synthesis report(2012)This report draws from 26 projects that focus on the intersection between agriculture and climate change to better understand how climate stressors affect agricultural productivity, with the potential to exacerbate existing food insecurity and poverty. To facilitate adaptation to climate change, almost all the projects worked directly with farmers and their organizations. Results emphasize that Participatory Action Research (PAR) works best when it is implemented with full understanding of the context where it is delivered and with meticulous attention to methodology in that context. Change processes are slow, while yielding local solutions and community ownership of adaptation programs.Item Partnership between CCAA and Organizations Representing At-Risk Groups, Dakar, July 26-27, 2007 : workshop report(IDRC, Dakar, SN, 2007) Kaeré, Alioune Badara; Denton, FatimaThe Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) program seeks to give local organizations the opportunity to participate in identifying root problems and their solutions based on the participatory principles of action research. Thirteen participants attended this workshop from institutions representing West African Community-based organizations.The aim was to learn the positions of grassroots organizations and their administrative needs, in order to offer adaptation practices that meet the needs of vulnerable groups, and that can support grass-roots organizations as well as local farmers.Item Rapport de synthèse de sessions plenières de l'atelier de développement des capacités CRDI/ACCA en evaluation integrée des risques climatiques(AGRHYMET, Niamey, NE, 2007) Badiane, Daouda
