The Imels-FAO project “International Alliance on Climate-Smart Agriculture”

Although there has been a rapid uptake of the term CSA by national and international organizations, the implementation of the approach is still atan early stage and equally challenging mostly due to lack of tools, capacity and experience, considering that climate-smart interventions are highly location-specific and knowledgeintensive. To address the need of developing CSA knowledge and capacity, and that of strengthening international coordination and collaboration on CSA, IMELS and FAO have signed in March 2014 a MoU for the implementation of a project specifically aiming at establishing an international partnership on CSA, in order to promote the climate-smart approach for food security and as a contribution to the agricultural sector’s response to climate change. The IMELS financed the MoU with USD 2.13 million.
