Smallholder families in 3

provinces in South Africa

apply climate-adapted

agricultural practices and

diversify their income

opportunities in orderto

stabilize food security in

the long term.

As part of an MDF pilot

project, 345 smallholder

farmers have gained

initial experience with

local agricultural

practices for climate

change adaptation. There

is currently no coherent

regional or local system

for climate-adapted

agriculture by

smallholder farmers.

So far, 9 community-

based village savings and

loan associationshave

been established by MDF

2,625 beneficiaries of

smallholder farming

families and 75

stakeholders in 3 provinces

are organized in

Communities of Practice

(CoP) and implement at

least 3 practicesfor

climate-adapted

agriculture according to

developed standards.

18 villagesare organized by

the project in their own

village savings groups

249 participants, of whom 107

are in new learning groups.

(1 424 beneficiaries)

20 stakeholders: across meso

and macro level CoPs

18 VSLAsof which 5 are new

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!L%'4$-(!0'!M;;NE>O;;

1.2 Currently,

smallholders are

supported by 2

government

organisations (ROs)

and 2 non-

governmental

organisations (NGOs)

- 3 regional CoP with

representatives from the

local CoP are established in

clustersas innovation

platforms for exchange,

planning and development

- 3 regional multi-stakeholder

platforms (ROs and NGOs) for

strategy development, policy

interactions, coherent

planning and awareness

raising are established

1.2 In the project regions, 6

ROs and 6 NGOs support

smallholder farmers through

learning and financing

opportunities. From planning

to implementation, they are

involved in community-based

adaptation to climate change

activities.

2. A decision support tool

that takes into account

climate-resilient

agricultural practices will

be further developed and

applied by smallholder

farmers.

2.1 There are no

specific criteria for

the local

assessment of

climate-resilient

production

systems.

2.2 So far, there are

no standardized

and target group-

oriented

approaches for

climate-resilient

agriculture for the

project regions.

2.3 120 smallholder

farmers have

developed an

understanding of

2.1 Indicators for

monitoring and evaluating

the impact of specific

agricultural practices for

adaptation to climate

change have been

identified together with

smallholder farmers.

2.2. A handbook has been

developed and made

available as a standard

framework for use as

"open source" for users at

various levels (in digital

and printed form).

2.3 A total of 300

smallholder farmers

independently use the

3. Community-based

water management will be

institutionalised and

sustainably improved.

3.1 At municipal

level, there are

insufficiently

functioning

structures for

sustainable water

management.

3.2 Communities

have only limited

access to water

3.1. Six communities have

been institutionalized and

have a sustainable

structure (e.g. Committee

on Water Management)

3.2 Three community-

based approaches to

sustainable water

management have been

developed.

5 communities:Ezibomvini (9), Vimbukhalo

(35), Stulwane(87) (Bergville), Nkau (18),

Ned (50) (Eastern Cape) have been

institutionalized, sustainable structures in 2

villages only (Constitutions, committee, do

have meetings, problem solving, or deal with

maintenance issues)

3 Community-based approaches:Limpopo

(Turkey, Sedawa), Limpopo (Giyani) and

Bergville (Stulwane,Ezibomvini

Vimbukhalo)… in association with WRC –

approaches have been outlined and

proposed- working with water institutions to

get some recognition. – policy and strategy
