| Summary: | Successful value chain interventions that achieve poverty reduction goals can in themselves be beneficial
to climate change adaption, as they build farmers’ assets and institutional linkages. But climate change can
have major effects on the outcomes of IFAD-supported value chain interventions for smallholder
beneficiaries; these outcomes may be negative or positive, and in many cases are uncertain. Therefore, it
pays to do a simple upfront risk assessment to identify and manage risks and opportunities. The purpose of
this How To Do Note (HTDN) is to provide guidance on the basics of climate risk analysis for value chain
interventions. |
