Project Overview

Assessments of Climate Change Impacts and Mapping of Vulnerability to Food Insecurity under Climate Change to Strengthen Household Food Security with Livelihoods’ Adaptation Approaches (AMICAF)

Total Approved Budget: US$ 2.5 million Project operation: October 2011-October 2014 Participating countries: The Philippines and Peru

(only first two components).

Objectives

To assist developing countries to address climate change assessment and adaptation, to improve food security through a comprehensive framework.

This framework would bridge climate change impact assessment, food Insecurity vulnerability analysis and livelihood adaptation approaches.

AMICAF Framework: Addressing the Linkage Between Climate Change and Food Security

Component1: Impacts of

Climate Change on Agriculture

Component2: Food Insecurity

Vulnerability Analysis

at household level

Component3: Livelihood

Adaptation to Climate Change

Component4: Institutional Analysis and Awareness

Raising

Global Guideline for Implementation in other

countries (Global delivery)

Component 1: Impacts of climate change on

agriculture Nation-wide assessment of projected impacts of climate

change on agriculture at the sub-national scale to inform Component2 vulnerability analysis and Component3 adaptation planning.

MOSAICC – Modeling System for Agricultural Impacts of Climate Change Multiple impact models (Climate downscaling, Crops, Hydrology,

Economy) in one package Software plus training

Newly developed Partial Equilibrium Agricultural Market Model, named PAM (Provincial Agricultural Market) model, is used in addition to MOSAICC’s climate downscaling, crop and hydrology modules.

Food insecurity vulnerability analysis

(Component2)

Component 2:Food Insecurity Vulnerability

Analysis Develops an analytical econometrics model with

the best available national household datasets The choice of models heavily depends on data

availability (a variety of socio-economic data at smaller administrative units, preferably geo-referenced)

Characterizing vulnerability and identifying variables associated with highest levels of vulnerability

Current FIVIMS Food Insecurity and Vulnerability Information and Mapping System

in the Philippines

Component 2 will be built upon past work on analysis and mapping of food insecurity by incorporating climate change-related factors.

Component 3:Livelihood Adaptation to

Climate Change Community–based adaptation making best use of

information from Components 1+2. Identification, validation, field-testing, and

evaluation of good adaptation practices at local context through participatory processes and capacity development.

Field tests: Camarines Sur (Luzon Island) and Surigao del Norte (Mindanao Island)

Component 4:Institutional analysis and

awareness raising Institutional analysis Knowledge management, communication and

capacity development Interactive fora Institutional mechanism and produce guidance

materials Policy analysis

Current Progress (The Philippines (1))

PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services

Administration) conducted downscaled climate projections.

PhilRice (Philippine Rice Research Institute) and UP-NIGS (The

university of the Philippines Diliman National Institute of Geological Sciences ) is conducting yield and hydrological projections .

NEDA (National Economic and Development Authority) is conducting agricultural market projections.

CBMS (The De La Salle University through the Community-Based

Monitoring System Network Team) is conducting food insecurity vulnerability analysis at household level .

Current Progress (The Philippines (2))

Department of Agriculture-Regional Field Unit 5 and Philrice, Agusan del Norte are conducting filed tests to cope with climate change, collecting good practice options and organizing farmer field schools.

A national consultant is conducting institutional analysis.
