In order to combat climate change and its negative impacts, the solution articulates the following among the many suggestions that have written down.
-The Climate Change Centre of Technology Project Description: The project is designed to support the development and transfer of climate technologies in African countries as a way to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and vulnerability to climate change. The project will be implemented through the three following components: (i) enhancement of cooperation with development partners to maximize technology transfer and financing; (ii) enabling the scaling-up of technology transfer in policy, institutional and organizational national reforms addressing mitigation and adaptation; and (iii) integrate technology needs into pro-grams, plans and investments priorities
-Supporting Innovative Technology The development and deployment of technology plays an increasingly critical role in the global response to the challenges of climate change. Vulnerable communities in particular require both financial and technological support to adapt to climate change
-Participatory Integrated Watershed Management Project Description: The project was developed to address soil degradation and water management issues, taking into consideration the concerns of the farmers and the government and their desire to improve household food security and rural incomes. Prior to the project the land was not cultivable due to lack of access to some of the fertile lowland areas and degradation of the uplands as a result of soil erosion and the lowlands due to siltation. The project’s main beneficiaries have been poor smallholders dependent on traditional upland crops (groundnuts, millet, and sorghum) and lowland rice cultivation for their livelihoods. Impact: The most significant output has been that 5,800 hectares of land in the lowlands have be-come available for cultivation after the construction of 33 kilometers of spillways and 68 kilometers of dykes. The construction of 195 kilometers of contour bunds and a sizeable number of diversion bunds has reduced soil run-off and erosion, and the flooding of settlements has decreased. Additionally, less soil erosion in the uplands and less siltation in the lowlands (connected phenomena) has substantially helped maintain soil fertility. The combination of more land for cultivation and improvements to land already under cultivation has led to substantial increases in agricultural output, with total crop production growing from 4,503 to 25,573 metric tonnes a year and the project areas’ contribution to national rice production increasing from 3.57% to 12.08%.
