| description | This report documents the adoption and utilization of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) and Climate Information Systems (CIS) modules developed under the AICCRA project through RUFORUM and WASCAL networks. The initiative aimed to strengthen the integration of climate-smart knowledge into university teaching, research, and outreach. Results show that the modules have been widely mainstreamed across African universities, with significant uptake in undergraduate, postgraduate, and professional training programs. Case studies from Tanzania, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and regional collaborative programs demonstrate successful curriculum integration, enhanced faculty capacity, and increased student engagement in climate-resilient agricultural practices. The findings underscore the transformative potential of higher education in advancing climate adaptation and sustainable agriculture in Africa. The report concludes with recommendations for strengthening institutional support, knowledge sharing, and policy alignment to sustain and scale the impact of CSA and CIS integration across the continent. |
