Component 3
Capacities of vulnerable communities enhanced to adapt to climate change
Component 3 attempts to link impact assessments and vulnerability analyses with adaptation actions on the ground.
In this Component, quantitative modeling analyses (locally downscaled climate change scenarios, hydrology, crop yields, and household vulnerability to food insecurity) and a participatory community-based approach will be combined to help address multiple dimensions and factors that affect food security at the community and household levels.
FAO and local partners organize Farmer Field Schools (FFS) for climate-smart farming practices in selected communities, and evaluate existing sets of climate change adaptation options to improve food security.
In the Philippines, which was one of the 1st phase’s recipient countries, around 500 farmers benefited from project interventions. Technical field staff, as well as their local government supervisors, improved their technical capacity through training and experience working on the project.
