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 purpose of this government project is to strengthen organization and capacities of local rural people to incorporate adaptation to climate change  in their socio-economic activities, within a land planning framework for the territory located in the central coastal plain of El Salvador.  It will accomplish this objective through 7 lines of action:  (1) diversification and incorporation of additional added value to agricultural activities to increase the capacity to cope with climate change; (2) promotion of non-agricultural economic initiatives to decrease impacts associated with agricu

This project, led by SouthSouthNorth and Caritas, has five objectives. The first is to build community partnerships and engage stakeholders in preparing for climate change. To complete this objective, the project will conduct surveys and hold workshops on the topic. The second objective is to  identify vulnerable groups and specific vulnerabilities, as well as identifying existing coping strategies and local knowledge that can be drawn on to counter these vulnerabilities.

As part of disaster preparedness, Oxfam has built cluster villages in flood-prone areas – small settlements raised more than two meters above the water level in high-risk areas. Elsewhere in the country, land has been set aside for flood shelter so that, when the waters come, hundreds of households can relocate and take their livestock and possessions with them. Rescue boats and lifesaving equipment has been funded. Within small communities, disaster preparedness committees have been given support and training. Individual homesteads have been raised above water level.

In this project, led by SouthSouthNorth and Caritas, different types of capacity-building activities including learning-by-doing type activities are implemented to enhance adaptive capacity of the targeted communities. Capacity building will target the areas of agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture, alternative livelihoods development and small entrepreneurship, access to safe water, and disaster risk reduction.

South-Central Bangladesh is prone to extended monsoon flooding and water-logging from the ocean and the Ganges and Januma Rivers. Various climate change studies have revealed that this region will be more prone to flooding and water logging due to heavy rainfall and other predicted effects of climate change. Erratic rainfall and temperature fluctuation are hampering crop production and livelihood activities in the area.
