SADC Futures: Developing Foresight Capacity for Climate Resilient Agricultural Development Final technical report

Success in fighting poverty in Africa will largely depend on the extent to which rural poverty is reduced as it is largely a rural phenomenon. By examining the rural development strategies of the East African Community, Economic Community of West African States and the Association of South East Asian Nations, the purpose of this study was to determine their relationship to rural poverty reduction. The Rural Development Strategy Soundness Model and Rural Web Model tools were used to examine the soundness and cohesiveness of implementation, respectively. The results showed that rural poverty declined where a rural development strategy had both been sound and cohesively implemented. We concluded that a positive correlation exists between a sound and cohesively implemented rural development strategy and rural poverty reduction. We deduced from this that the former is a missing link in Africa’s fight against rural poverty

This brief explains how CSA practices have mitigation co-benefits, how mitigation co-benefits relate to other policy objectives, and the challenges and opportunities for climate change mitigation through CSA in Southern Africa.

This brief explains: links between agriculture and GHG emissions from other land uses, landscape approach to achieve synergies between agriculture and other land uses, and between adaptation and mitigation, and examples of initiatives that illustrate how landscape approaches can be implemented at scale in Southern Africa.

This brief explains the contribution of livestock to GHG emissions in Southern Africa, how livestock development and adaptation practices have mitigation co-benefits, and the challenges and opportunities for upscaling climate smart livestock with mitigation co-benefits.
