Major issues beyond CBA

1. To test the suitability and the adequacy of the local adaptation techniques used and find affordable alternative solutions.

2. To set or reinforce the Research-Action-Development units that will develop affordable alternative technologies to be used at the community level to address adaptation issues.

3. To set a capacity building mechanism of vulnerable communities in order to adopt the appropriate technologies.

14


4. To set rural community radio (vicinity) to inform populations on weather forecasting in order to allow them to adjust their cropping calendars.

5. The suitability of adaptation mechanisms VS social and cultural threats environments.

6. Willingness of communities to adopt or not technologies which are not productive in short term.
