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 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

The Water Sector Support Project aims to strengthen sector institutions for integrated water resources management and improve access to water supply and sanitation services.

The objective of the project is to prepare water managers and users for changing climatic conditions (especially reduced flows) through provision of technical data, planning, and improved allocation, capacity building and awareness-raising.

This project will use participatory methods in planning and implementation to set up water user groups in charge of assuring operation and maintenance of a sustainable irrigation scheme. The project will train the community in proper water management and operation and maintenance of the irrigation furrow, in agricultural extension and agribusiness skills, and in soil and water conservation. The goal is to assure sufficient water to supply agricultural production and domestic use, thus improving living standards.

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.

Sea level rise threatens water supply in coastal Tanzania due to salinization of the water table. Lack of steady water supply forces women to travel long distances for water, which takes time away from other activities. In other cases, families purchase water, which can be expensive. Farm operations are compromised by inavailability of irrigation. Diseases are more prevalent due to water shortages.
