Climate-Smart Agriculture Prioritization Framework

Sadie S

CSA-PF aims to guide stakeholders in optimizing national and sub-national agricultural planning, by providing methods for:

  • Identifying promising CSA practices in relation to key production systems
  • Evaluating the context-specific outcomes of these practices
  • Analyzing the costs and benefits of implementation, as well as barriers to adoption, and
  • Identifying strategies that support the implementation of CSA practices on the field

The process generally takes between 4-8 months, but can be simplified. Format is downloadable guidebooks. Currently in pilot phase. Developed by CCAFS.
