Ecosystem-based Adaptation and Climate-Smart Agricultural Measures
The five EbA/CSA measures were the fundamental building block that ensured the project's success.
They were selected because of their familiarity to, and suitability for, local people.
The measures helped project participants adapt their farming practices to climate change while improving and diversifying their livelihoods.
* Participatory intervention selection with farmers and expert staff
* Supportive local extension and rural-development agencies
* Frequent and regular support by expert staff and farmer-to-farmer approaches
* Familiarity with the intervention increases the likelihood of adoption
* Farmers preferred to modify their farming systems with the enhanced knowledge from the project rather than completely change all at once
