Description
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) and the Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network (CSAYN) are organizing an online discussion on partnerships, innovations and financing opportunities available for young people in Africa to adopt CSA. The discussion will also highlight the role of mentorship, training and share cases of successful young farmers as role models.
Guiding questions for the discussion are:
- Week 1: What innovative ways can be employed to make climate-smart agriculture more attractive to the youth? This will include sharing of successful case studies involving the youth;
- Week 2: How do partnerships affect and influence climate-smart agriculture on the continent? Give practical examples;
- Week 3: What mechanisms are available for climate-smart agriculture financing? And, are youth able to access these finances?
- Week 4: What are the key recommendations for donors, policymakers, researchers, development workers and other stakeholders to engage youth in Africa in CSA?
