The Department of Agricultural Research (DAR) held a one-day workshop in Maseru, Lesotho 
on the Integrated Pest Management Plan (IPMP) and the Environmental and Social Monitoring 
Framework  (ESMF)  papers. These  documents  were  submitted  in  compliance  with  the 
Environmental Act of 2008 for application of  environmental clearance for DAR’s  research 
project under APPSA. The objective of the workshop was to validate  and review  these two 
documents.  

At the heart of the Mountain Kingdom of Lesotho lie the highlands. Sitting between 2000 and 3500 metres above sea level, they channel water into the OrangeSenqu River which winds its way from Lesotho through South Africa and Namibia, with tributaries stretching as far as Botswana. It is a key source of water for Southern Africa’s most economically active region, supporting large-scale irrigation, industrial activities, hydropower, urban demand, and small-scale rural activities. South Africa’s highly developed economy draws most of the water, with Gauteng deriving over 32% of its water directly from Lesotho. This paper is a discussion of this resource base.

The brief discusses the key messages that transpired during the Conference on Scaling held on 29─30 November 2018 at the Melia Hotel in Hanoi, hosted by CCAFS SEA, co-hosted by ACIAR and GIZ, and funded by a CCAFS Small Grant Cross-CRP Networking. The conference main points include: scaling up agricultural innovations takes place in complex systems of agricultural transformation, and sustainable scaling should build into “sustainable change at scale”.

This booklet presents a collection of previously unpublished or ongoing research and interventions related to climate-smart agriculture (CSA), with emphasis on experiences in Eastern and Southern Africa. The visual material contained herein offers researchers, development workers and policy-makers teaser insights into new tools, methodologies and data to support CSA scaling efforts. The 35 contributions in this booklet answer to five key questions that currently obstruct the efficient and effective implementation of CSA agendas.
