| dc.description | The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the UN in partnership with the Government of Malawi through its Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MoAFS) and with financial support from the European Commission, is implementing the project “Climate-Smart Agriculture: capturing the synergies among mitigation, adaptation and food security” . The project intends to contribute towards the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals number 1 and 7, which focuses on Eradicating Extreme Pover ty and Hunger and ensuring environmental sustainability as well as Article 2 of the UNFCCC. In addition to Malawi, the project is also being implemented in Zambia and Viet Nam1. It has four expected outcomes which include the following: ï‚· An evidence base for developing and implementing policies and investments for climate smart agriculture is built in the three countries; ï‚· Country-owned strategic frameworks for climate smart agricultural activities are formulated; ï‚· Climate smart a griculture investment proposals are formulated and possible financing, including from climate finance is identified; and ï‚· Capacity for evidence-based planning, implementing and financing climate smart agriculture is built. In line with the objectives of the project, a policy dialogue workshop was organized between MoAFS and MoECCM and other stakeholders to discuss how linkages between climate change and agriculture might be captured in a harmonized way in agricultural and climate change pol icies. The national agricultural policy will seek to mainstream climate change, while the national climate change policy addresses climate change as a cross-cutting issue, with a section of the policy devoted agriculture. The workshop was attended by over 24 participants from the two ministries, civil society organizations(CSOs) and academia. | |
