A wind turbine installed in a village in Zimbabwe may help decrease vulnerability, thus improving villagers’ ability to cope with the effects of climate change. A study of the project concluded that "[i]n this case study, small-scale windpower eases water resource stress and contributes to climate change adaptation in two ways: (1) by providing energy for water pumping in otherwise energy-deprived areas, and (2) by easing fuelwood consumption in households whose livelihood opportunities have expanded with electrification."

This project aims to: (1) promote sustainable livelihoods for drylands (through irrigated crop production, crop diversification, small livestock production and marketing, grazing management, woodland management, wildlife management and ecotourism, production of small grains, improved post-harvest storage and processing facilities, water harvesting and management, community seed producers’ networks, community-based safety nets, training of communities in pasture management and establishment of fodder banks, training of communities in commercial seed production, and facilitation of community-bas

In 1993, the Community Drought Mitigation project embarked on providing technical support to farmers to improve their crop production while conserving soil and water.  A number of demonstrations were conducted.

The Netherlands Climate Change Studies Assistance Programme (NCSSAP) in Yemen will compliment Yemen’s National Adaptation Plan of Action (NAPA). Whereas the NAPA focuses on physical adaptation measures, the NCCSAP will concentrate more on social-based adaptation to climate change. Both programs are located within the Climate Change Unit of the Environmental Protection Authority, which operates under the newly created Ministry for Water and Environment. The main focus is water management.

This project will directly target the top two of the four articulated priorities in Yemen’s National Adaptation Plan of Action, namely: (1) improving community resilience to climate change through the development of sustainable rural livelihoods; and (2) improving agricultural production under erratic rains and changing climatic conditions.

Capitalizing on its vast network of trainers throughout Vietnam, the Red Cross integrated a climate change and adaptation unit into its disaster preparedness training modules.  One component of this project was awareness-raising about the impacts of climate change on livelihoods and the need to be prepared to adapt.

The Radio and Internet Project (RANET) implemented in Nakasongola district by World Vision and the Department of Meteorology enhanced collection and dissemination of early warning and climate information at the local level through radio and internet. Using a computer connected to the internet, the project provided timely information on climate and other development information for the people in the district. Through established channels of communication, the project then disseminated climate information to local farming communities in a timely manner.

The Karamoja Agro-pastoral Development Programme (KADP) implements an agro-pastoral development program in the semi-arid Moroto and Nakapiripirit districts in Karamoja, North East Uganda.  The most viable economic activities are extensive livestock keeping and growing of seasonal crops to supplement livestock and livestock products.  During drought, Karamojong women, children and old people are often left for months at a time without animals to provide them with milk.  Thus, the KADP started a breeding and propagation centre to produce crossbred dairy goats.  Each woman was given a goat, t

GTZ was the main implementor of this project, which consisted of analysis and development of a report and plan. The Tunisian agencies in charge of the project are the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources and the General Directorate of Agricultural Studies and Development. Over the course of three conferences and 12 working meetings, the three agencies, along with the help of numerous Ministries and NGOs, produced a report on the impacts of climate change on the landscape and human activities, especially agriculture.

This project aims to implement sustainable adaptation alternatives in the fishing communities of the Lake Victoria region in order to restore food and income generation supporting activities.
