Packages
01
Challenge
Smallholder farmers lack systematic access to credible climate adaptation knowledge. Extension systems need capacity strengthening for equitable approaches.
Solution
Transform extension through capacity building, co-designed interventions, and inclusive knowledge platforms.
Approach
Three interconnected work packages: analysis, capacity strengthening, and knowledge platforms.

Documenting Change and Impact in Climate Adaptation Initiatives
A collection of documented outcome cases showcasing changes in capacity, behavior, and systems in climate adaptation projects
Information, Communication & Exchange
Access technical documents and external resources related to agricultural technology and policy.
This document explores methodologies for incorporating indigenous and local farmer knowledge into agricultural extension services. It provides case studies and frameworks for more inclusive and effective knowledge transfer between researchers, extension workers, and farming communities.
The Global Forum for Rural Advisory Services (G-FRAS) training environment provides access to learning modules, resources, and tools for extension professionals. This platform supports capacity building in rural advisory services through interactive training materials and collaborative learning opportunities.
