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)

Our work on CSA
Vuna looks for innovation models for climate-smart agriculture
Vuna commissioned a Climate Smart Agricultural (CSA) innovation models impact analysis to assess select Vuna Agriculture Development Facility (ADF) projects and identify intervention pathways to sustained climate resilience at scale.
Inclusive Seed Systems: Insights from East and Southern Africa
This paper forms part of a set of three thematic papers that draw from action research conducted on the approaches used in implementing climate-smart agriculture innovation models in East and Southern Africa by Vuna, a DFID funded regional CSA programme.
Building Resilience for Dairy Farmers with climate-smart solutions
This paper is one of five climate-smart agriculture (CSA) innovation model papers based on the adoption and integration of various climate-smart agricultural approaches to smallholder farming in East and Southern Africa. Funded by DFID, the cases draw on pilot initiatives within the Agricultural Development portfolio of the Vuna programme.
Building Inclusive Seed Systems for Semi-Arid Areas: Zimbabwean case
This paper is one of five climate-smart agriculture (CSA) innovation model papers based on the adoption and integration of various climate-smart agricultural approaches to smallholder farming in East and Southern Africa. Funded by DFID, the cases draw on pilot initiatives within the Agricultural Development portfolio of the Vuna programme.
Integrating CSA Capacity growth in Outgrower Schemes
This paper is one of five climate-smart agriculture (CSA) innovation model papers based on the adoption and integration of various climate-smart agricultural approaches to smallholder farming in East and Southern Africa. Funded by DFID, the cases draw on pilot initiatives within the Agricultural Development portfolio of the Vuna programme.
Integrating CSA into E-Voucher Farmer Input Subsidy Programme
This paper is one of five climate-smart agriculture (CSA) innovation model papers based on the adoption and integration of various climate-smart agricultural approaches to smallholder farming in East and Southern Africa. Funded by DFID, the cases draw on pilot initiatives within the Agricultural Development portfolio of the Vuna programme.
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.
Private Sector Driven Models for Smallholder Farmers
This paper forms part of a set of three thematic papers that draw from action research conducted on the approaches used in implementing climate-smart agriculture innovation models in East and Southern Africa by Vuna, a DFID funded regional CSA programme.
Integrating CSA in Pigeon Pea Production in Mozambique
This paper is one of five climate-smart agriculture (CSA) innovation model papers based on the adoption and integration of various climate-smart agricultural approaches to smallholder farming in East and Southern Africa. Funded by DFID, the cases draw on pilot initiatives within the Agricultural Development portfolio of the Vuna programme.
Insights from integrating CSA into Outgrower Models
This paper forms part of a set of three climate-smart agriculture thematic papers that provide an action research analysis of the approaches that were used in implementing Vuna pilot innovation models in East and Southern Africa (ESA), a DFID-funded regional climate-smart agricultural programme.
