MDP-IFAD Research Proposal-IFAD Internship Programme-East Africa-Uganda

The adverse effects of climate change are already being felt especially by small-holder farmers across the globe; however sub-Saharan African small-holder farmers especially in East Africa are the most at risk. Risk factors range from socio-economic dynamics such as limited access to social, economic capital resources and information. To address these challenges associated with agriculture and climate change there is need for interventions that can simultaneously bring in all concerned institutionally oriented actors being the farmers themselves, policy implementers and formulators to help formulate or re-direct policies that integrate inter-disciplinary approaches.
