Dans le besoin urgent de lutter contre le changement climatique, une priorité essentielle est de renforcer la capacité de ces groupes et communautés les plus vulnérables, et déjà fortement affectés, à améliorer leur capacité à adapter leurs systèmes de subsistance.
El presente artículo pretende describir la técnica de las alianzas estratégicas consideradas como herramienta adaptable dentro de la administración estratégica para beneficio del sector agroindustrial; cuya aplicación puede dar origen a mejoras o desarrollo de prácticas eficientes para el cumplimiento efectivo de objetivos y metas.
El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar ex-ante el efecto de un sistema de concesión de infraestructura pública sobre el costo directo de producción agrícola en una zona objeto de mejoramiento del riego. La metodología consideró la aplicación de una encuesta a potenciales beneficiarios, que recoja datos sobre su percepción, disposición a pagar y planes productivos en un nuevo escenario para el riego, contrastándolos con el impacto en el margen bruto resultante del consumo eventual de agua.
El objetivo general que orientó el trabajo fue analizar a la luz de las teorías las ciencias de la administración la situación empresarial de La Integradora de la Frontera Sur, S.A. de C.V., para generar propuestas concretas de acción que les permitan mejorar su gestión empresarial. Los objetivos particulares serían analizar formas para proponer estrategias concretas en el interés de contribuir a su mejora e incidir con actividades de capacitación.
Relying entirely on survey information and personal exchanges with over 70 scientists from within the CGIAR network, this working paper attempts to achieve a better understanding of the scope of social learning related efforts undertaken in CGIAR and main issues of relevance to more current efforts, such as that planned by the CGIAR program on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS). A wide range of methods was identified, where groups of people learn in order to jointly arrive at solutions to pressing food security problems.
Conference proceedings of a 3-day workshop on Communicating Carbon, organized and hosted by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture, and Food Security (CCAFS), which brought together field practitioners from carbon projects to exchange lessons learned and to develop improved skills related to communication about carbon projects.The workshop has highlighted best communication practices used to inform farmers about carbon markets, contracts, and risks involved in engaging with carbon projects.
This training-of-trainers manual is designed to train you to be able to deliver a capacity enhancement workshop (CEW) to rural women on climate change and gender. It has been designed by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and is appropriate to the South Asian context.
This paper introduces the Multilevel Stakeholder Influence Mapping (MSIM) tool, which aims to assist analysts in the study of power dynamics across levels within climate adaptation regimes. The tool is adapted from the Stakeholder Influence-Mapping tool (2005) of the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). MSIM is a simple visual tool to examine and display the relative power/influence that different individuals and groups have over a focal issue—in this case, climate change adaptation of smallholder farmers.
This study assessed intermediate results of an investment intended to support climate change adaptation and resilience-building among farmers’ cooperatives in Rwanda.
