From project portfolios to institutional strategy: mainstreaming climate resilience in agricultural research at CGIAR by Choptiany, J., Tremper, O., Jafflin, Z., Myers, S., Hernandez, R., Ledermann, S.

“…The results of the review revealed five transferable lessons for research organizations: first, reduce the focus on adaptation alone to also include mitigation; second, close gaps between what is documented versus what is undertaken in practice to strengthen policy relevance; third, address the lack of deeper integration of gender and youth; fourth, strengthen institutional capacities to affect policy change; and fifth, advance collaborations across institutes to better address the multidimensionality of climate change impacts and opportunities. Beyond IITA, applying such a portfolio analysis framework is expected to significantly strengthen the ability of institutions to navigate the evolving climate finance landscape and support strategic reorientations in a coherent and impactful way. …”

Improving water productivity in crop-livestock systems of drought-prone regions: Editorial comment by Amede, Tilahun, Tarawali, Shirley A., Peden, Donald G.

“…Water shortage is expected to be severe in areas where the amount of rainfall will decrease due to climate change. The lack of capacity of communities living in drought-prone regions to respond to market opportunities, climatic variability and associated water scarcity also results from very low water storage facilities, poverty and limited institutional capacities to efficiently manage the available water resources at local, national and basin scales. …”
