Abstract

Cost-benefit analyses can provide information on the financial feasibility and economic efficiency of a given policy. However, such methods fail to capture the non-monetary benefits of adaptation, which can be more important than the monetary ones. Ongoing work in Morocco shows how cost-benefit analysis combined with participatory stakeholder analysis can support effective decision making, by identifying cross-sector benefits, highlighting areas of mutual interest among different stakeholders, and more effectively assessing impacts on adaptive capacity. The most important benefits from adaptive irrigation in Morocco are non-monetary, for farmers and public sector stakeholders alike.
