CCAFS Climate-Smart Village Approach: Is CSA practice testing linked to climate services delivery? by CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security

“…In 2011, we established benchmark sites for joint fieldwork in three regions (East and West Africa and South Asia), and initiated a program of action research that would allow multi-location, long-term and community -based trialing of holistic portfolios of adaptation options. Designed to learn about the social, cultural, economic and institutional processes of adaptation and mitigation, and to support the design of implementation strategies, the Benchmark sites quickly led to the emergence of the concept of Climate-Smart Villages (CSVs). …”
