Â鶹ÊÓƵ

This regional case study examines the development and dissemination of LMEWM during the El Ni?o events in Southern Africa.

This summary brings together evidence from 49 Â鶹ÊÓƵ-commissioned independent evaluations, which cover the period 2018-2023.

This summary draws from evidence extracted from 23 evaluation reports completed between 2021 and 2023.

This summary brings together findings from 16 evaluations commissioned by Â鶹ÊÓƵ that were completed in 2023.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ has been an Africa Risk Capacity (ARC) Replica Partner since 2018, purchasing insurance policies in several African countries to help protect vulnerable people from climate shocks.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is committed to scaling up Anticipatory Action programmes and protecting more people before extreme weather events strike. This page displays the activations that occur throughout the year. It shows the number of people reached and the types of anticipatory actions being implemented in each country. These AAs aim to prevent and/or lessen the humanitarian consequences of predicted shocks, while delivering a quicker, more cost-effective, and more dignified response.

The evaluation was commissioned by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Office of Evaluation to provide evidence for accountability and learning to inform the design of the next country strategic plan (CSP) for Madagascar. The evaluation covered all Â鶹ÊÓƵ activities implemented between 2018 and September 2022 and examined Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic positioning, its effectiveness in contributing to strategic outcomes, the efficiency of CSP implementation and factors explaining Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s performance

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is making climate risk insurance solutions work for food insecure populations. In 2021, three major payouts have triggered in countries with Â鶹ÊÓƵ-supported insurance programmes, which will support people and governments to recover from climate impacts.

This case study series presents the evolution in national capacities and systems for anticipating drought in Madagascar, Mozambique, and Zimbabwe. They outline key results from the first phase (2019-2022) of the Multi-country programme on scaling-up anticipatory action for food security (MCP-AA4FS Phase I), funded by the regional Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD), to reduce the impact of drought on food security and livelihoods

The R4 Rural Resilience Initiative is Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s flagship approach for integrated climate risk management. The initiative combines four risk management strategies: improved natural resource management through asset creation or improved agricultural practices (risk reduction), microinsurance (risk transfer), increased investment, livelihoods diversification, and microcredit (prudent risk taking) and savings (risk reserves).

The evaluation assessed the quality and results of the policy, along with the factors that enabled and hindered those results.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ has operations in 12 countries in southern Africa. This factsheet provides an overview of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s impact and achievements in the region in 2022

As the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events rise, more needs to be done to anticipate, mitigate and prevent their impact on the food security of the world¡¯s most vulnerable people. To support this innovative approach, Â鶹ÊÓƵ is working with national and sub-national governments across southern Africa to strengthen and link national early warning systems with Anticipatory Action Plans (AAPs) and prearranged finance with the principal aim of saving lives, livelihoods, and costs from recurrent climate shocks. This brochure outlines Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s work on anticipatory action in Southern Africa.

The independent evaluation of the integrated social protection- Fagnavotse programme was jointly commissioned by the United Nations Children¡¯s Fund (UNICEF), International Labour Organisation (ILO), United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA), Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ), and the Ministry of Population, Social Protection, and Promotion of Women (MPPSPF) in Madagascar.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is addressing vulnerable people's immediate food needs with cash or food transfers while supporting the development or rehabilitation of assets that enhance the resilience of communities in its food assistance for assets (FFA) projects. This factsheet gives an overview of FFA interventions in southern Africa.

This decentralized evaluation was jointly commissioned by a consortium of partners comprising the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) Secretariat, Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), Landell Mills and the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) and covered the period March 2017 to March 2022.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s assistance in drought-affected parts of southern Madagascar has been essential in averting catastrophe. In 2021, Â鶹ÊÓƵ assisted over 1.7 million food insecure people. This factsheet outlines Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s key achievements in Madagascar in 2021.

Climate resilience can be built through risk finance helping communities deal with climate shocks and empowering women. This publication presents four different women who, through risk finance, were able to not only survive climate shocks but invest in their futures.

While smallholder farmers are the primary food producers in Southern Africa, contributing to 90 percent of food production in some countries, often systems in the region do not support profitability for them. Â鶹ÊÓƵ is working across Southern Africa to address bottlenecks in food systems to enhance the resilience of smallholder farmers. This factsheet gives an overview of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s approach to smallholder farmers.
