The objective of the Agro-biodiversity and Climate Adaptation Project for Yemen are: (a) to enhance capacity and awareness at key national agencies and at local levels, to respond to climate variability and change; and (b) to better equip local communities to cope with climate change through the conservation and use of agro-biodiversity. There are four components to the project, the first component being agro-biodiversity and local knowledge utilization and assessment. The objective of the component is to prepare inventories of landraces and other agro-biodiversity and develop vulnerability profiles of selected landraces. The second component is the climate change modeling and capacity building. This component will finance activities which will be the building blocks for developing capacity in climate change analysis and modeling. The third component is the integrating climate change into rain-fed agriculture. This component will have three sub-components. The first sub-component will finance capacity building activities at for the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (MAI) and the communities. The second sub-component will finance piloting of coping mechanisms with communities, for better management of natural resources and for diversifying income generation activities. Under the third sub-component, a detailed assessment of the vulnerability of rain-fed agriculture to climate change will be financed. Finally, the fourth component is the project management, coordination, and monitoring and evaluation.
