This would be achieved by strengthening existing institutional frameworks for climate change adaptation, and by the demonstration of cost-effective adaptation strategies in agriculture and natural resources management. Has the Global Environmental Objective been changed since Board Approval of the Project Objective? No Components Public Disclosure Authorized Name Strengthening the Enabling Environment for Climate Change Adaptation:(Cost $0.15 M) Demonstration of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies in the Agriculture and Natural Resources Sectors:(Cost $2.76 M) Enhanced Provision of Scientific Information for Climate Risk Management:(Cost $0.87 M) Project Coordination:(Cost $1.19 M) Overall Ratings Name Previous Rating Current Rating Progress towards achievement of GEO Moderately Unsatisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Implementation Progress (IP) Unsatisfactory Moderately Satisfactory Overall Risk Rating Moderate Moderate Page 1 of 9
Implementation Status and Key Decisions The development of adaptation approaches, strategies, and technologies is nearing completion. Demonstration of many approaches is also completed, and most others will be done within the next several months. Adoption by households in targeted communities has been very encouraging. Institutional frameworks for monitoring and evaluating climate-related risks and developing and promoting appropriate adaptation measures has been strengthened through better climate information systems and new weather stations, encouraging integration of climate data into sector and agency plans, development of a good practice manual to guide agency strategies and policies, and initial piloting of a weather indexbased crop insurance system. The project s climate adaptation recommendations have already been used in the redesign of two irrigation systems and are in the process of being incorporated into additional systems. Extension services and information campaigns are helping to ensure strong community participation in the project and awareness of its purpose and activities, and a climate-smart decision support system is now online that will give farmers easier access to adaptation information via phones and mobile devices. The remaining adaptation outputs are expected to be completed by mid-2016. A project extension (to December 2016) was recently approved to allow sufficient time for their final demonstration, evaluation, and dissemination.
