Outline

USAID/CCAFS Project Overview

Cri8cal Aspects of Stakeholder Engagement •  Understand and address stakeholder perspecCves from the

project beginning •  Assess LED at mulCple scales to match the scale of stakeholders •  Ensure both process and informaCon transparency

Constraints And Solu8ons to Achieving Stakeholder Engagement

•  AFOLU emissions share was 21% in 2010. Agriculture contributed over fiLy percent of the total AFOLU.

•  PopulaCon and dietary paMerns could increase emissions unless agricultural management pracCces are improved.

•  Opportunity to agricultural miCgaCon is significant.

Assess LED at Mul8ple Scales to Match the Scale of Stakeholders

MulCple scales results in issues with

• Analysis Scale • CommunicaCng Uncertainty

• System CompaCbility

(Olander et al 2013)

Uses project data (acCviCes, locaCons)

EsCmates the type of GHG emiMed and sequestered, over the projects Cme frame

EX-‐ACT is a land-‐based accounCng system that relates acCviCes in the AFOLU sector to esCmate GHG emissions.

Project Scale

AcceleraCng Agriculture ProducCvity Project (AAPI)-‐ Bangladesh. The project promotes the adopCon of deep placement of Urea and alternate wegng and drying of rice.

Ex-‐Act esCmated the annual miCgaCon impact of 532,000 tCO2-‐e •  reduced emissions from ferClizers (240,000 tCO2-‐e) including

both field level impacts and lower ferClizer producCon, transportaCon, storage, and transfer.

•  reduced methane emissions in AWD rice (292,000 tCO2-‐e)

Ensure both Process and Informa8on Transparency

Transparency is not only the availability of informaCon, but also the ac8ve par8cipa8on in acquiring, distribuCng, and creaCng knowledge.

Established a project core team and a decision structure that acCvely involves key stakeholders.

Requires conCnuous improvement as project evolves.

Constraints And Solu8ons to Achieving Stakeholder Engagement in LED

Improved GHG quan8fica8on and decision making tools are needed.

•  User-‐friendly esCmaCon tools that work across scales, regions, and systems

•  Dynamic interfaces that not only achieve informaCon transparency goals but also engage stakeholders decision making.

•  Easily understood and common metrics for users across scales.

7/8/15 20


Climate objec8ves should be explicitly outlined in project objec8ves during the design phase.

We found that the engagement of implemenCng partners varied based on the stated objecCves of their project.

•  Projects with stated climate objecCves are interested in gathering evidence of their miCgaCon achievement.

•  Projects without a stated climate objecCve are less engaged.

7/8/15 21


Stakeholder engagement needs strike a balance between effec8ve communica8on and team efficiency.

The project team needs to conCnually weigh the benefits of group discussion/feedback with the costs in terms of Cme and resources.
