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

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.

The focus of this project is on combining a participatory approach and water modeling. The main objective of the project is to strengthen the capacity of the sectors, institutions, and Vietnamese people to adapt and respond to the climate change impacts. It aims to reduce their vulnerability to climate change and disasters by raising their understanding and preparedness to foresee impacts and minimize losses.

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 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.

The Shinyanga region in the north of Tanzania is occupied mainly by the agropastoral Sukuma people.  The Hifadhi Ardhi Shinyanga (HASHI) project, which means “soil conservation” in Kiswahili, is a government initiative under the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism.  It has been instrumental in reviving the Sukuma people’s traditional practice of conservation.  Using indigenous knowledge, they are practising a natural resource management system called ngitili - a Sukuma word meaning enclosure.  Traditionally ngitili were used to provide animal fodder for very young, old or sick an

The project promotes the restoration and sustainable use of ecosystems along the Eastern Coast of Sri Lanka damaged by the Indian Ocean tsunami. It is designed to overcome three key barriers to the restoration of coastal ecosystems and to catalyse a replicable low-cost system. By the end of the project, at least 1,000 ha of coastal lagoons, 75 ha of sand dunes and 250 ha of mangroves will have been rehabilitated and be under sustainable management.

The World Bank began a project in 1983 that involved installing 15,000 of low-cost shallow tube well technology combined with small engine-driven water pumps, a new technology that soon acquired the name "fadama irrigation".

Recovery from weather-related disasters is a great challenge for the Nepalese Government and any future increase in these disasters from enhanced climate variability and change will certainly add to this challenge. As is the case in most developing countries, disaster insurance has not been applied in Nepal as an adaptation mechanism to reduce disaster-related vulnerability. However, community-based micro-insurance schemes in the livestock and cash crop sectors have been successfully established in some villages.
