CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change Agriculture and Food Security Programme (CCAFS) provides technical and scientific support to partners and beneficiaries in a 5-year Climate Resilient Agribusiness for Tomorrow (CRAFT) project, implemented in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, as from June 2018.
Project partners are CCAFS, SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, Wageningen University and Wageningen Environmental Research, Agriterra, and Rabo Partnerships. The partners leverage and create synergies with existing programs and public-private sector partners in the three targeted countries, thereby creating the institutional environment for wide-scale adoption of promoted technologies, practices and innovations.
