Description

Description The Promotion of Smart Agriculture towards Climate Change and agro-ecology transition in West Africa (in French, “Agriculture Intelligente pour le Climat”, or AIC) is a regional initiative focused on Africa. The global objective is to support the transition towards agro-ecology in West Africa to reinforce the resilience of vulnerable populations. The initiative aims at the adoption of practices by 25 million households by 2025.
Objectives This initiative includes two steps: firstly, the spread of best practices through public policies (involvement of public services in charge of agricultural and environmental policies) and, subsequently, farmers' training and support by NGOs and producers (involvement of producer organisations and operators). Implementation of 25 millions efficient stoves at 2025.
Activities Creation of a platform to share knowledge: capitalisation of technics and ecology intensive practices, data on investments, and data on carbon sequestration.

•Promotion of these practices through agro-meteorological support: climate modelling and of its impacts on agriculture, strengthening of the production and dissemination of information systems. •Production and dissemination of best practices. •Supporting the scale-up of best practices: the use of agroforestry species with carbon sequestration capacities, storm water management, soil regeneration and fertilization. •Reinforcement of national and regional capacity building in policies and strategies: promotion of best practices in programmes and projects, trainings. •Mobilizing financial and technical resources: access to the International Climate Fund (primary channel of UK climate change finance), creation of expert pools.
