    1. There should be clear linkages and synergies established between FAO and CSOs with clearly stipulated roles for each party.
    2. First, studies should be conducted as to why most on-ground CSOs may lack contribution, however, trainings, and mentorships could raise the spirit and keep the momentum. This could help instill the need for self-reliance in agriculture as the main contribution to socio-economy
    3. The only way to deal with climate change impact is to accept its presence and impacts, then adopt to the evolving technologies on agricultural practices that respond to impacts brought about by the changes: These include procurement and use of climatic adoptive seeds which are drought tolerant and disease resistant, short maturity period. Also use of appropriate fertilizer products relevant for the soils and cultivated crops. These all still need awareness and trainings.
