Identifying Opportunities for Climate-Smart Agriculture Investments in Africa

This paper proposes a methodology for examining the potential of existing NAFSIPs to generate climate change benefits.

The paper proposes a two-phase approach: (i) an initial scoping phase to review financing/investment issues and develop a rapid screening methodology for CAADP investment plans to identify programs and activities that generate adaptation and mitigation benefits; and (ii) a second phase of in-depth analysis, including estimation of adaptation/mitigation potentials using baseline emissions levels and identification of possible eligibility criteria for climate-smart programs and activities.
