The Climate-Smart Agriculture Education and Policy Project (CSEP)

The Climate-Smart Agriculture Education and Policy Project (CSEP) is an 18-month project funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Department (DFID) and implemented by Genesis Analytics in Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

Across the three countries, CSEP supports the development, finalisation and dissemination of climate-smart agricultural (CSA) education manuals. It also develops CSA frameworks and supports governments in their implementation. Implementation includes activities in establishing a well-functioning CSA unit engaged in new business development; proposal and project development across Ministries in collaboration with the National Designated Entity (NDE) and other relevant stakeholders.

Our focus areas

CSEP takes a two-pronged approach to improve the adoption of CSA practices. We focus on climate policy (CSA frameworks and global climate funding mechanisms) and climate education (CSA training manuals, agricultural education curriculum improvement and development of CSA centres of excellence)

Climate-Smart Agriculture: Synthesis from Innovation Models

This study sought out the insights from five reports on innovation models designed to improve smallholder farmers’ resilience to climate change. Vuna, a DFID-funded programme, adopted an action research approach to generate reliable evidence on the impact of innovations on increasing the resilience of individuals, households, and markets. All five reports are on our reports pages.
