Participants deliberating during the workshop<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\nThe meeting was convened by the IITA-led Policy Action for Climate Change Adaptation (PACCA) project in partnership with\u00a0Uganda National Farmers Federation (UNFFE)<\/a>,\u00a0Agri-Pro Focus<\/a>,\u00a0Participatory Ecological Land Use Management (PELUM)<\/a>,\u00a0University of Oxford and Environment Management for Livelihood Improvement (EMLI)<\/a>.\n\nThe goal of the two-day workshop, held in early November in Kampala, Uganda, was to raise awareness on the ASSP , and provide a platform for non-state actors to contribute and undertake a scenario-guided review of the ASSP .\n\nThe PACCA team with support from Lucas Rutting, a scenario and policy researcher at Oxford University, facilitated the process. While introducing Uganda scenarios to participants, Rutting said scenarios are not strategies but a tool for testing strategies. \u201cIt is important for the participants to understand it from the start,\u201d he said. Climate proofing Uganda\u00b4s\u00a0agriculture sector strategic plan \u201cScenarios can be used to explore different directions of change in climate, markets, governance, and other key factors,\u201d Rutting said. \u201cThrough scenario testing, it is envisioned that the ASSP will be more robust in the face of future uncertainty, taking into account both climate change and socioeconomic developments.\u201d\n\nPACCA seeks to link policies and institutions from national to local level for the adoption of climate resilient food systems in Uganda and Tanzania through the integration of the scientific community with policy actors. It is a project of the\u00a0CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change and Food Security (CCAFS)<\/a>\u00a0.\n\nDuring the two-day meeting, participants\u2013using the four socioeconomic scenarios for Uganda developed at an earlier\u00a0workshop in February 2015<\/a>\u00a0and with climate information, analyzed and reviewed the ASSP . They came up with recommendations to ensure that ASSP will be more robust\/flexible in the face of future socioeconomic development, climate changes, and the complex interactions between them.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
