CSA Monitoring
Understanding adoption, synergies and tradeoffs
at farm and household level
May 2021
2. • To test through participatory methods technological
and institutional CSA options for dealing with climate
change (addressing the productivity, adaptation and
mitigation pillars, their synergies and trade-offs)
• Scaling out and up the appropriate options
(addressing financial/incentives mechanisms and
barriers)
• Drawing lessons for policy makers from local to
global levels.

Climate-Smart Village AR4D approach
It addresses the need for proven and effective CSA options in a real-life
setting and facilitates co-development of scaling mechanisms towards
landscapes, subnational and national levels.
