Strengthening Agricultural Adaptation (SAGA) global project
The SAGA global project aims to reinforce farmers’ capacity to adapt to climate change in two Francophone Least Developed Countries particularly vulnerable to its impacts: Haiti and Senegal.
Multi-actor, multi-sector, multi-scale, SAGA reinforces national adaptation planning for food security and nutrition through a holistic approach:
1) generating data and scientific evidence on vulnerability and adaptation options in the agriculture sectors; 2) undertaking community-based pilot interventions, including through gender and nutrition sensitive farmer field schools; 3) developing policy support tools and guidance, and feeding the scientific and practical knowledge produced into key planning policy processes; 4) capitalizing on existing climate change coordination mechanisms to facilitate dialogue across the local, national and international partners involved.

As the first ever FAO project implemented through a financial and technical partnership with the government of Quebec, SAGA is aligned with the Hand-in-Hand Initiative and answers the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Paris Agreement call for ambitious collaborative efforts. SAGA promotes practices that protect biodiversity and value ecosystem services, and recognizes the importance of building on traditional knowledge and the key role of rural women and youth in climate change adaptation planning. |
