1. Integrate adaptation into the project cycle
During the ToT we asked the participants to
work in groups,
put together all relevant information for their specific topic (water, climate, agriculture, governance, society and economy) and
present it to their colleagues

4. Rationale Objective Importance Application General
Ensure that programmess and projects are climate-resilient
Ensure that ‘safeguards’ are in place in the project cycle
Importance
Thinking about climate change and adaptation measures at appropriate stages of the project cycle can ...
ensure that the projects/programmes continue to address priority development needs
maximise positive benefits of projects,
avoid lost investments and maladaptation
Application
Specific questions at specific stages of the project cycle
General
Strategic planning, progress review, operational planning

5. Why think about adaptation at project level?
Two different links
Goals of a project could be threatened by climate change (and therefore the project needs to be adapted)
Project activities have an impact on social or ecological systems (i.e. influence the vulnerability of a system positively or negatively)
Most relevant projects are:
Long-lived investments (roads, dams, coastal or irrigation infrastructure)
climate-sensitive sectors (water, agriculture, disaster risk management, health, coastal development, area-based planning, etc.)
long-term planning

6. Integrating adaptation in the project cycle
Monitor and evaluate implementation of adaptation measures within projects
Assess potential climate risks and effects on vulnerability
Undertake in-depth climate risk assessments
Identify adaptation options
Prioritise and select adaptation options
For new project: implement selected adaptation options
For ongoing projects: carry out interventions of previous stages, then implement adaptation options

7. Exercise (1) Context Exhibits
Government of Zanadu wants to develop a systematic approach to assess the development projects/programmes in the country in the view of climate change
Government of Zanadu (GoZ) has asked an expert group for support  your working group
Exhibits
Exhibit ‘Guiding questions for integrating adaptation into development projects’
Box ‘Questions to ask when dealing with climate change as a project manager’
Project briefs

8. Project implemen-tation Sector investment programme
Exercise (2a)
Your task, Part 1
Your expert group advises the GoZ on integrating climate change adaptation into the project cycle (in general)
Use Matrix 15

9. Exercise (2b) Your task, Part 2
Your expert group now advises ministries on their projects (project brief)
In Matrix 16
With the 1st question screen if there are likely impacts from climate change on the project’s objectives and activities.
With the 2nd question check if the project’s activities might (inadvertently) increase beneficiaries’ exposure and/or sensitivity.
With the 3rd question discuss opportunities for the project to enhance to beneficiaries adaptive capacity and thus decrease vulnerabilities.
With the 4th question examine if and how the project’s objectives and activities can benefit from climate change.
In Matrix 17 determine at what stage in the project cycle you are.
In Matrix 18 develop suggestions on how to integrate adaptation into the project.
Matrix 18
Think at the current project stage and the following steps. Think of activities to reduce vulnerabilities and/or maximize opportunities from climate change
You may find it useful to use relevant climate data, for a decision making processes around climate change adaptation, or in defining adaptation options (Annex p III gives some indications).

11. Example GIZ: Climate Proofing for Development

12. Preparation
Collect and compile climate change information in a user-friendly way
Identification of
Climatic trends and the impact on the planning
Time horizon of the planning relevant to these climatic trends
Planning elements particularly affected by climate change (exposure units)

13. Simplified example Climate stimulus Exposure unit
Increase in precipitation variability
Increase in average temperature …
Exposure unit
Forests …
Bio-physical (direct) effect
Increase in the frequence and intensity of fires at the forest edges
Changes in forest composition …
Simplified example
Options for action
Fire management
Biomonitoring (climate-sensitive / used species)
Control of invasive species
Integration of CC into forest management plan
Relevance for the
planning
Direct impact on the achievement of objectives (Protection and conservation of forests)
Low adaptive capacity due to planning deficits
High probability of impacts
Socio-economic (indirect) effect
Loss of utilisation potential (Timber & NTFP)
Loss of income
Food insecurity
Wildlife conflicts

14. Mali: Climate Proofing for Development in projects in Sustainable Land Management (SLM)
Steps
Discussion with Malian stakeholders, Trainings and workshops on various tools
Application of ‘Climate Proofing for Development’ in 2 SLM projects and evaluation
Development of a manual
Establishment of an expert pool
Trainings for government institutions and NGOs
Integration in the planning cycles of SLM projects
Monitoring of use and optimisation (e.g. quality control)

15. Example PADESO Identified adaptation options (examples)
PADESO: Programme d’Appui au Développement Durable de l’Elevage au Sahel Occidental (PADESO) 
4-year programme
Target group: pastoralists and small-scale famers
Regions: Kayes, Koulikoro and Ségou
Identified adaptation options (examples)
Pass meteorological information and forecasts on to farmers
Protection of infrastructure against extreme events
Restoration of degraded land and erosion prevention
Promotion of adapted livestock species and crop varieties
