I'm Holly Erickson and I am the principal investigator for the project known as the program for Climate Smart Livestock, which is funded by BMZ in partnership with GIZ and the World Bank. We are working in three countries, Kenya, Uganda and Ethiopia. We have sort of three different objectives. The first objective is really focused on identifying, piloting and validating what we're calling climate smart livestock practices. And so that's our attempt to take the approach known as climate smart agriculture and zero and specifically on practices that work for livestock. Traditionally, we've really focused on low emissions development in the livestock sector because there's been so much emphasis on livestock's contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. But what we're really excited about in this new project is that we get to focus on the other two pillars of climate smart agriculture, specifically adaptation to climate change. Because just as for every other agricultural sector, livestock development will be very significantly affected by climate change. And livestock are themselves a very important asset that we already know many farmers look to protect themselves against climate-related shocks and others. So that's the first objective is really to disseminate climate smart livestock practices for farmers, but primarily using extension workers, NGOs, line ministry staff as our vehicle to reach those farmers. So very much a training of trainers approach. The second component is focused at the national policy making level. Although we want to link that national level to the local level where we're testing the interventions under the first component. And so our target there is to influence climate finance, climate investments in each of the three countries because they have all included either agriculture or indicated that they'd like to use livestock to reach some of their NGC targets. But we know that they need support developing strong climate investment plans. The second area is really looking at how to achieve greater policy coherence. And then the third are testing and using some decision support tools to help policymakers think about how to make decisions now to protect their populations and livestock sector against future climate change. And then the third component is a bit more specific, but it's actually quite critical to country's abilities to prove that they're actually meeting the target that they've committed to the UNFCCC. So on the mitigation side we're developing protocols for what's called measuring reporting and verification or MRV. And on the adaptation side we're going to develop a couple of protocols for adaptation tracking. But in both cases its countries have committed to certain targets and these protocols are extremely important instruments for countries to demonstrate that they're meeting commitments and hence generate more climate smart investments. Many things. First of all, being it's the only project of its kind that I know of that is looking just at livestock. So there's been a lot of buzz around climate smart agriculture over the last decade. But our experience has been that people want to focus on agriculture and when they do that it tends to be crop based agriculture or sometimes forestry and agro forestry. But livestock are kind of always added in the last minute. There hasn't been a project just focused on what are the needs and issues surrounding livestock. So that's a most unique selling point. I think the second unique selling point is the way we're doing this in partnership with the World Bank. So the idea behind the partnership between Ilry which is a research for development organization and the World Bank which finances development projects is that they will use the learnings and the best practices that we identify in our project to inform their new climate smart investments going forward and also to help us make the case that livestock are really important to both climate change mitigation and adaptation. And I think the third unique selling point is the fact that we are linking on the ground practice with the higher level enabling policy environment that's required to make sure that farmers can have some of the incentives in place that they need for broad scale adoption of climate change mitigation and adaptation practices. So under the first component we'll have, we'll identify pilot and validate a series of interventions and be able to explain just what we think their potential is for reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensities. Also explain what their potential for enabling adaptation to climate change so that that will be a set of practices. And then I think perhaps our most ambitious intended output is actually to have all the work that we do under the second component around policy development and developing and attracting climate finance would be that one or more of the countries that are working in exceeds in attracting a solid climate, climate investment and also that perhaps our work around future adaptation requirements results in concrete policy outcomes or policy redesign.
