Description

Description GACSA is an inclusive, voluntary and action-oriented multi-stakeholder platform on Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA)
Objectives GACSAs vision is to improve food security, nutrition and resilience in the face of climate change. GACSA aims to catalyse and help create transformational partnerships to encourage actions that reflect an integrated approach to the three pillars of CSA.

GACSA works towards three aspirational outcomes to:

Improve farmers’ agricultural productivity and incomes in a sustainable way; Build farmers’ resilience to extreme weather and changing climate; Reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with agriculture, when possible.

Activities Within the Alliance there are three initial action groups on:

Knowledge: Increasing and promoting knowledge, research, and development into technologies, practices, and policy approaches for CSA. Investment: Improving the effectiveness of public and private investments that support the three pillars of climate-smart agriculture. Enabling environments: Integrating climate-smart agriculture into policy, strategies and planning at regional, national, and local levels and across landscapes.

The objectives of the action groups is to provide the services and address knowledge gaps required by members and other entities to undertake their CSA up-scaling actions and interventions.
