Community strategies for climate-resilient livelihoods Livelihoods of rural communities in Zambia depend mainly on agriculture. Reliance on natural resources makes them very vulnerable to the effects of climate change such as shortened rain season extreme temperatures and more frequent droughts and floods. Alt
hough many farmers have observed climate variations over the past years they have a very limited knowledge of what is causing the changes and more importantly how to cope with them. This project addresses these issues by supporting the devel. of climate ch
ange adaptation strategies in four communities in Luanshya Monze and Mumbwa districts that are already affected by the changes.The project's overall objective is to build community resilience to the impacts of global warming through increased awareness and
 enhanced adaptive capacity in the project communities. The main beneficiaries 250 households (mainly small-scale farmers) involve 50/50 women and men and include young and disabled people. The project introduces sustainable innovations and climate-smart p
ractices that will be identified in cooperation with the communities as the most suitable in each context (e.g. agroforestry organic gardening and small livestock production). These activities support the diversification of income generation and a communit
y-driven response to climate change. The project also strengthens the advocacy skills of the community members in order to promote and safeguard their right to food rural employment safe environment and climate justice. The aim is that drawing on the lesso
ns learnt during the project the communities can contribute to evidence-based advocacy at the national level.The project promotes gender equality by empowering women to respond to the impacts of climate change and by involving them in related decision-maki
ng in the communities. Inequality will be reduced by including young and disabled people in local Project Management Committees and capacity building activities. This enables them to raise their views and needs as regards climate change adaptation and to p
articipate effectively in climate-sustainable economic activities. The project's main focus is on climate sustainability through resilient livelihoods. It also explores communities' options for preparing for and recovering from climate-related shocks.This 
is a new project but it utilises the experiences gained and best practices developed during GLM Zambia's previous sustainable development projects in rural communities.

going process in the project management. During 2013 and 2014 several projects will be assessed some of the starting projects will have an initial field assesment and some project are coming to mid-term of their lifespan.  Most of the the preparation and a
nd assesment will be outsourced and some of it is done by ministry's own personnel both desk officers and advisors. Adequate resources are needed for these activities in order to guarantee best possible outcome of the Finnish support to the region.

 for and applied to three ministries to support their reform planning and implementation. The continuation has been asked by CSA GC LIPA and ministries.In order to apply the GA model to governmental planning in practice the project has started to include t
he ministry level input to the GA model development already in the first phase (2011-2012) to ensure the usability of the model. The second phase (2013) will focus on training and revising the GA model for selected ministries (2-3 ministries). The first mi
nistry to using the GA model will be the Ministry of Commerce and Industry due to its interlinked functions with the second ministry recently merged Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning that is in need of planning support.The project second phase will
 further strengthen the cooperation of local partners in order to ensure the correct political coordination and backing for the GA model to be applied to all MAC?s in Liberia. That means that the all the ministries will have their MTEF (three year planning
 period) reform plan done in similar fashion. The GA reform implementation will focus on the service delivery aspects for the citizens.The project second phase will also create a handbook and a video with prominent persons speaking about the governance. Th
e handbook and video will act together as training material and also serve in other CMI engagements. The project also supports the CMI GooB project in Lieria directly.
