Great Ruaha River Basin Climate Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis (CVCA)
This report presents the methodology and findings of the CARE-WWF Alliance Climate Vulnerability and Capacities Analysis (CVCA) in the Great Ruaha Basin of south-central Tanzania, conducted in September 2017.
The CARE-WWF Alliance is embarking on an ambitious initiative in the Ruaha Basin to have impact at scale on food and nutrition security and climate resilience. Given the context outlined above, undertaking a CVCA with communities in the catchment is critical to effective project design and implementation. This CVCA is intended to be one of three integrated assessment tools that will contribute to a CARE-WWF Alliance approach to markets, ecosystems, and social vulnerability in the context of a changing climate.

Final Evaluation of the Adaptation Learning Programme for Africa Extension Period (2015 – 2017)
The Adaptation Learning Programme (ALP) has worked to improve the capacity of vulnerable people and households in sub-Saharan Africa to adapt to climate variability and change. Since 2010, ALP has been working directly with communities in Kenya, Niger, Ghana and Mozambique (Mozambique: 2010 – 2015 only) to identify, develop and refine approaches and strategies that can help build communities adaptive capacity and resilience to climate-related risk – an area known as community-based adaptation (CBA). In total, ALP has received over £11.3 million GBP ($17M USD) since 2010 through the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Denmark (Danida), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland, and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA). Since 2015, funds received under the 2-year costed extension are valued at approximately £3M GBP ($4.6M USD) from DFID (75%), ADA (9%) and the Danida financed association Civil Society in Development (CISU) (16%).

Sustainable and Effective Economic Development (SEED) Project Summative Evaluation Report
The Sustainable and Effective Economic Development (SEED) project was a seven-year initiative that started in January, 2006, and ended in April, 2013. The project was funded by CIDA and managed by CARE Canada and CARE Mozambique in partnership with Irish Aid, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI). CIDA’s contribution was $7.5 million. Irish Aid contributed Euros 1,218,906 towards funding for the cashew component of the project, and IFAD contributed Euros 353,630 towards funding for the goat component with research undertaken by ILRI staff.
The SEED project was implemented in a difficult and challenging environment. The primary stakeholders were the women and men living in the rural communities of the project area and their needs were many. Most were living at a subsistence level in some of the poorest districts and communities of Mozambique. There were limited economic opportunities as these communities were dispersed, populations sparse and transport access was very difficult to and between many communities. There was also a lack of service providers supplying agricultural inputs or technical support at the community and government levels. These communities were confronted with incidences of HIV/AIDS and the numbers of female headed households were high. [76 pages] Read More...
