Climate-smart Maps for Strengthening the Adaptation Plans of Farming Communities (CS Map)

The project aims to contribute to the development of a sustainable rice value chain to address the negative impacts of climate change by generating information through mapping climate-related risks for rice production with land suitability, and develop adaptation and sustainability plans for 50 rice-producing provinces. 1. Develop detailed climate risk maps (CRMs) using participatory mapping and Climate Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (CRVA) approaches 2. Develop, update and/or improve the provincial crop suitability maps (CSMs), cropping calendar, and other important considerations in the interventions toward the development and/or refinement of agricultural climate adaptive strategies and plans; 3. Capacity building of key provincial and regional agricultural officials and staff in climate-related assessment for sustainable rice land-use planning and management; 4. To put in place an effective institutional and governance framework enabling project planning, operation, and sustained results to support the expected outputs of the project.
