The African Agricultural The African Agricultural Ministers:Ministers:
Requests the AUC-NEPAD to facilitate development of an SLM-Agricultural based climate change adaptation framework to guide operationalization and financing the scaling up of SLM in the context of NEPAD’s CAADP and EAP Environmental Action Plan
Calls upon Member States to increase investment support to initiatives aimed at strengthening knowledge, advancing technical capacity development, and up-scale sustainable land and water management practices including conservation agriculture, agro-forestry, watershed management
PARTNERSHIPS IN SUPPORT OF CAADP
The African Agricultural The African Agricultural Ministers:Ministers:
Calls upon Governments and partners to increase financing support for sustainable land management and agricultural water management, irrigation and water control systems to enhance agricultural production in Africa and address the issue of climate variability and related food insecurity within the context of the CAADP agenda
Urge AUC-NEPAD and partners to ensure issues and initiatives on combating desertification and agricultural water management are directly considered and integrated in the efforts to support sustainable land management (SLM)-agriculture based climate variability and climate change adaptation measures

Purpose of CCA FrameworkPurpose of CCA Framework
The purpose of the CAADP CC Adaptation Framework is to outline a set of principles, actions, roles and responsibilities, and financing recommendations to guide NEPAD-CAADP engagement in implementing agriculturally related climate change adaptation programmes in Africa.
The framework should guide engagement at all levels from continental to national/local and across the levels
The framework will form a common strategy for proactively addressing climate change through adaptation and mitigation measures, linking together partners at all levels, all focused on achieving the goals and objectives of NEPAD

Key value elements of the Key value elements of the Framework Framework
Will to provide for: Comprehensive and systematic and coherent
programmes Systematic reforms in policies Integrated attention to organisational and human capacity, institutional arrangements Integrated and programmatic approach across the sectors, disciplines, ecosystems as well as transboundary Coherent framework to guide partnerships including alignment of the development partners support to an African agenda
PARTNERSHIPS IN SUPPORT OF CAADP
Value Added of the CCA Value Added of the CCA FrameworkFramework
To maintain a high degree of emphasis on linkages between climate change, sustainable land management, food security, and poverty alleviation in Africa in policy and development programming
To highlight roles played by different partners in addressing climate change in African agriculture
To facilitate collaboration and coordination of efforts in climate change policy, research and development as it relates to agriculture, in order to increase impact
To provide a clear and compelling investment programme for African agriculture that delivers on the twin objectives of meeting current food security needs whilst building capacity of rural systems and agricultural assets (e.g. soils) to offset or respond to climate change effects

Fostering Up-scaling of Best Fostering Up-scaling of Best Practices for Climate Change Practices for Climate Change Adaptation/Mitigation in Agriculture Adaptation/Mitigation in Agriculture (1)(1)
Principles/approaches:
Identify concrete actions that build on existing efforts where possible
They should focus on ex ante climate change adaptation measures that add resilience to systems and offset predicted climate change effects and importantly address current food security needs
They should complement and link with other major initiatives such as TerrAfrica, AGRA, NAPs, etc.

Principles/approaches:
These should be at significant scale and for medium term in order to have impact
Identify flexible governance and financing mechanisms to facilitate rather than hinder investment (e.g. could allow earmarks for certain thematic or geographical areas)
They should encourage innovation and be rigorously monitored for livelihood and climate change impacts

Operationalizing of the Operationalizing of the Framework Framework (1)(1)
Possible Actions at national level ….
Facilitate / support up-scaling of proven practices that raise productivity and provide adaptation or mitigation benefits in the face of climate variability and change
Integrate CCA interventions into PRSPs and other development planning systems / capacity and ability
Strengthen communication and capacity in CCA knowledge and skills, e.g. of extension staff
Identify and address institutional or policy impediments
Promote synergies across projects, programmes, and sectors – use CC or SLM platforms -- e.g. on stemming degradation and deforestation
PARTNERSHIPS IN SUPPORT OF CAADP
Operationalizing of the Operationalizing of the FrameworkFramework (2) (2)
Possible Actions at regional and sub-regional levels …
Increase political support for SLWM/Agriculture
Technical backstopping in best practices
Mobilize resources and identify mechanisms for cross country learning (knowledge management) and possibly for coordinated implementation
Provide funding mechanism which is attractive for investors
Provide quality assurance of investments through vetting, oversight, M&E

Next steps…
1. Stakeholder workshop on implementation strategies and mechanisms = 30th June 09
2. Scoping exercise
3. Advocacy = Climate Change and food security; wealth creation
4. Operationalisation (by end of 2009): TerrAfrica SLM-Food security-CC flagship investment programmes
- Regional mechanisms- Country/Community Programmes design and
financing
