MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 2
Executive Summary The USAID/Mali Climate Change Adaptation Activity (MCCAA) is a five-year initiative awarded on July 30, 2015 with the goal to (1) increase the adaptive capacity of targeted communities, households, people and systems, (2) increase inclusion of climate change considerations to enable the country in accelerating the transition to climate resilient and sustainable economic development, and (3) increase the adoption of local solutions to climate variability and change by communities and individual households. MCCAA’s interventions focus on the rain-fed areas of Mopti region, where the Activity is facilitating the uptake of climate, market, and agricultural information and adaptive practices vital for Malian farmers, local decision-makers, and key Malian institutions to initiate and maintain a resilience pathway. This Annual Report for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 presents a summary of MCCAA operations and technical activities in Bamako and the Mopti region during the period of October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019. It is divided into seven sections, providing an overview of MCCAA’s organization and project results framework; a summary of project operations related to MCCAA’s offices, human resources and recruitment, and security during the reporting period; a discussion of technical progress toward achieving results, including a discussion of constraints and opportunities; an overview of project monitoring and evaluation (M&E); a report on cross-cutting aspects of MCCAA, including gender, youth, and environmental compliance; and an annual financial report. During Fiscal Year 2019, MCCAA’s objective was to capitalize on a full agricultural season to work with demonstration farmers in 31 communes, sensitize local population about climate change and its impacts upon Mali, put hectares under improved technologies and to apply the findings from both the behavioral baseline and the mid-line, which indicated that farmers need continued support in term s of drought resistant seed, fertilizer and pesticide. We accomplished the following:

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION The USAID/Mali Climate Change Adaptation Activity (MCCAA) is pleased to submit its fifth Annual Report covering FY19: October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019. MCCAA was awarded on July 30, 2015 with the goal to (1) increase the adaptive capacity of targeted communities, households, people and systems, (2) increase inclusion of climate change considerations to enable the country in accelerating the transition to climate resilient and sustainable economic development, and (3) building on goal 1 above, increase the adoption of local solutions to climate variability and change by communities and individual households. MCCAA promotes the provision and use of accurate, appropriate, and timely climate information to vulnerable populations, increases the inclusion of climate change considerations into more commune- level governance systems and increases the adoption of local solutions to climate variability and change by communities and individual households. Background of the Activity Rural Mopti faces particular climate change challenges. The Sahel is a marginal climatic zone where small changes in temperature, rainfall, or drought frequency or severity significantly affect the habitability and agricultural productivity of the area. Climate change makes life even harder for subsistence farmers and marginal populations. Women, who play a role in Mali’s agricultural workforce, face even more limitations. Youth, for whom unemployment is highest, do not view agriculture or animal husbandry as a viable career choice, and many leave rural areas for cities. Rural producers are largely illiterate, risk averse, and face significant socioeconomic barriers to accessing tools and technologies to adapt their livelihoods. Looking at Sahelian climate projections over the next decades, many studies predict that rainfall will become increasingly variable — in onset, distribution, and duration of the rainy season. Compared to a no climate change scenario, Mali’s income from agriculture and livestock will decrease by 15 percent by some reports. Recent field studies show more severe impact in the zone éxondée (non-irrigated landscape comprised of the Bandiagara-Hombori plateau, the Gondo-Mondoro plain, and Gourma
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 4
peneplain), where crops will be most affected by climate stress. When overlapping the zone éxondée with future decline in crop yields, it becomes clear that those who will face the greatest consequences will be low-income, subsistence farmers, as well as the families, extension agents, and service providers that surround them. These farmers are the most vulnerable and the most critical to support for agricultural livelihoods to be maintained for future generations. In Mali, where 80 percent of the population relies on agriculture for their primarily livelihood, the Direction Nationale de la Météorologie (Mali Météo) has been a vital resource for seasonal climate information since 1981. Mali Météo is best known for its Agrometeorological Advisory Program, which launched in response to severe drought and famine in the 1980s. This program began as an emergency response to address food insecurity by supplying agro- meteorological information to rural communities and authorities to help them make better decisions in managing their agropastoral livelihoods. For two decades, it has engaged regional and national actors to gather information, provided 10-day bulletins with information and advice, and broadcast three-, seven- , and 10-day weather forecasts. Since 2012, Mali Météo is a financially autonomous parastatal agency. With its new status, it must raise financial resources from the public and private sector and is expected to someday manage Mali’s synoptic weather stations, currently managed by the Agence pour la Sécurité de la Navigation Aérienne en Afrique et à Madagascar (ASECNA). Today, Mali Météo is a capable agency with the potential to create and disseminate climate information that Malians need to sustain their livelihoods. For this to happen, Mali Météo must recognize two things. First, generating information, however accurate, is not adequate if it cannot be accessed, understood, or applied by end users. Second, creating a viable agency by improving the information and packaging it in a way that is attractive, informative, and applicable to a variety of actors can be done in a financially and operationally sustainable way. Key Approach to MCCAA To adapt to climate stress (long-term trend that increases vulnerability) and climate shock (sudden onset event that affects vulnerability), subsistence farmers in rain-fed areas of Mopti Region make farming decisions by mobilizing and reallocating household assets, such as human, financial, natural, social, political, and physical assets. The fewer the assets, the harder it is to react to climate stresses or recover from climate shocks. The conceptual approach operationalizes USAID/Mali’s development hypothesis and MCCAA’s theory of change (see box below), by building resilience at the institutional level with Mali Météo and local governments and the community level with households and villages.
USAID/Mali Development Hypothesis Within a focused zone for resilience and across the Mission, if basic nutrition, health and water supply are improved; if adaptive capacity to variable climatic regimes are strengthened; if conflict-mitigating measures are implemented; and economic livelihoods diversified then chronically vulnerable populations in agro-pastoral and marginal agriculture livelihood zones will become more resilient.
MCCAA Theory of Change If the use of effective climate information by vulnerable populations is increased, the inclusion of climate change considerations in governance systems is increased and the adoption of local solutions to climate variability and change in targeted areas is increased, then rain-fed ecosystems, communities, and livelihoods of Mali will be more resilient to climate vulnerability and change, increasing the potential for sustainable and equitable economic growth.
Working from an understanding of the context in which the most vulnerable operate, MCCAA will produce, improve, provide access to, and demonstrate actionable ways to use climate information. MCCAA will do so by working with Malian decision-makers and local stakeholders (end users) to
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 5
strengthen the assets they call on to respond to climate stresses and shocks, with the understanding that end users have different needs and adaptive capacity depending on their social roles and status (e.g., gender, age, and socioeconomic status). MCCAA activities will then be brought to scale once the key challenges to accessing and using climate information have been fully analyzed and once target stakeholders have an increased capacity to address a multiplicity of climate shocks and stresses (and will do so by carrying out trainings on several technologies for the same beneficiary) to serve as knowledge brokers within their communities and organizations. SECTION 2. ACTIVITY ORGANIZATION AND RESULTS FRAMEWORK A. Organization The organizational chart, presented in Exhibit 1 on the following page, outlines the Activity’s management structure. Chief of Party Jeff Ratcliffe is responsible for overall Activity implementation, working closely with USAID and the Government of Mali (GoM) to ensure their support, integration, and participation in all activities. Mr. Ratcliffe is responsible for the timeliness and quality of all deliverables and for reporting under the terms of the contract and work plan. He provides direct supervision, oversight, and strategic guidance to the Activity team from Bamako, with frequent travel to Sévaré to support climate change adaptation strengthening (leading IRs 1.2, 1.3, 3.3). Deputy Chief of Party Adrienne Traoré oversees the financial and operational aspects of the program from the Bamako office, where she can more easily access local financial services and administrative support from Chemonics’ home-office project management unit (PMU). Although Mr. Ratcliffe makes final decisions regarding the technical direction of the Activity, he relies on the support and expertise of the technical leads, ensuring a collaborative approach to work planning, knowledge sharing, and adaptive management. He consults with staff in the Sévaré and Bamako offices through regular visits as well as the diverse internal communication mechanisms detailed below to integrate their inputs and obtain their buy-in on Activity activities.
Exhibit 3. MCCAA Organizational Chart as of September 30, 2019
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 6
The technical team is responsible for designing and supervising the delivery of technical and assistance. Long-term team members provide technical assistance on a strategic basis, deploying the services of local partners and individual short-term consultants who provide technical assistance as required. Community Resilience Expert Pierre Togo designed, implemented and assessed innovative activities to diffuse adaptive practices to improve farmers’ climate knowledge (leading IRs 3.1 and 3.2). Governance Expert Josué Kamaté liaised with local and regional governments to ensure integration of climate change considerations in development planning (leading IR 2.1). Field Adaptation Specialist Almoustapha Maiga works with members of NGOs as well as farmers in the Mopti Region to strengthen capacity in climate change adaptation (leading IR 2.2). Institutional Capacity Building Specialist Kader Diarra spends a significant amount of time embedded within Mali Météo and oversees operational support for Mali Météo to enable them to better integrate end-user feedback into climate information services (leading IR 1.1). Our Gender and Vulnerable Populations Expert Hawa Sow identifies and analyses socioeconomic barriers to integrate gender and social inclusion and improve vulnerable populations’ uptake of adaptive practices.
B. Results Framework
USAID/Mali’s CDCS Results Framework, depicted in Exhibit 2 on the following page, details one transition objective (TO) and three development objectives (DO) that include:
TO 1: Transition: Relief, Stabilization & Early Recovery of Conflict Affected Areas DO 1: Democratic Governance: Public Trust in Government Improved DO 2: Resilience: Adaptive Capacity and Ability to Reduce/Manage Risk among Vulnerable Communities & Households Increased DO 3: Prosperity: Socio-Economic Well-Being Advanced
Within the mission’s results framework, DO 2 consists of four intermediate results (IR): 1) Nutrition and health status, water supply, hygiene and sanitation improved; 2) Resilience to climate shocks and disaster risk reduction strategies strengthened; 3) Drivers of conflict mitigated; 4) Livelihoods diversified and improved.
While a number of USAID/Mali’s activities and programs work together to achieve DO 2 results, MCCAA will focus on IR 2.1 that aims to increase the quantity, quality and accessibility of climate information to promote application of adaptation strategies both at the livelihood level and into commune-level planning to build resilience to climate stress and climate shocks and promote sustainable livelihoods.
MCCAA’s results framework identifies the building blocks of the strategy to achieve the Activity objective of increasing the adaptive capacity of targeted communities, households, people, and systems to multiple scenarios. The Activity uses this framework as a planning and management tool. The results framework conveys the development hypothesis implicit in the approach to achieving contract results, as well as the cause-effect relationships between the program's three results and the Activity objective.

SECTION 3. OPERATIONS During FY19 MCCAA was acutely focused upon implementation of key activities linked to 1) reinforcing Mali Météo’s capacity to make available climate information in a manner that is timely and useful; 2) working with local non-governmental organizations and associations to raise their organizational awareness of climate change and its impacts upon Mali and how to adapt to those shocks and stresses; 3) introduced climate change adaptive technologies to 331 villages placing 59,968 hectares under an improved technology; and 4) worked with a total of 42 communes to foster links to projects that could help those communes to address climate change priorities. To ensure these activities could be implemented smoothly, our operations team hired essential local staff, procured agricultural and adaptation technology supplies, IT materials and equipment, made security upgrades to offices and vehicles given the deteriorating security conditions both in Mopti Region and Bamako. They also maintained positive and productive relationships with key local and international MCCAA partners.
A. Offices MCCAA Bamako and Sévaré offices operated normally during the reporting period. Nevertheless, MCCAA Sévaré office is located in a significantly security-challenged region and Sévaré town has significant security challenges. This became quite evident as G5 Sahel relocated their base of operations
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 8
from Sévaré to Bamako. Community level conflict between various militias and terrorist organizations and increased use of IEDs in central Mali has resulted in some routes being deemed too dangerous upon which to travel. MCCAA is following the security situation very closely and has weekly conversations with the DC-based Security Management Unit on any recent security incidents and revisits and makes updates to the Emergency Action Plan and Business Continuity Plan as needed.
B. Recruitment
Abasse Sankare was hired to replace the outgoing Security Coordinator during the reporting period.
C. Security MCCAA operations are being carried out in a very dynamic, evolving, and fluid security environment. Recognizing the Government of Mali’s tenuous response capacity particularly in the central regions (including all of Mopti Region), a Safety and Security Specialist from the Chemonics home office conducted a thorough security assessment in June 2019. One key reason for this assessment was the continuing deteriorating situation in Mopti Region and the need to evaluate hotels where staff could stay during their field work. For a summary of key findings of his visit, see Section 4.A. Challenges. The MCCAA Emergency Action Plan was also updated based upon the visit in June 2019.
In general, the findings noted that the cercles of Tenenkou, Youwarou, and Douentza remain “high risk” zones given the almost free movement of elements of Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and the Macina Liberation Front (MLF). These groups are warning Malians not to involve themselves with people espousing Western values. Of growing concern in FY19 was the significant increase in attacks in Mopti Region and the marked increase in the use of Improvised Explosive Devices. The increase in the use of these devices including on the national road that links Sévaré with Douentza prompted MCCAA to suspend activities in Douentza Cercle. Further there was a sharp spike in direct attacks against the Government of Mali, the UN, and both local and international non-governmental organizations in Mopti Region. A recent Safety and Security Map with color-coded indications by commune is attached in Annex A.

SECTION 4. FY19 ACHIEVEMENTS AND PROGRESS MADE TOWARDS ACHIEVING MCCAA RESULTS
A. General
Progress to Date Chemonics and Sahel Eco focused on a number of activities in FY19 to fulfill MCCAA’s technical mandate and in line with the approved Option Period Work Plan. During the reporting period, MCCAA made significant progress on sensitizing producers about a range of adaptation options available and the importance of using climate information when considering which adaptation technologies to use.
Engagement with local partners and institutions. The COP engaged in discussions with local partners and institutions during FY19. MCCAA seeks to continue collaboration with both USAID and non-USAID partners in the following reporting period. In FY19 MCCAA worked closely with l’Agence Nationale de la Météorologie (Mali Météo) to make climate information available to vulnerable populations. MCCAA also worked with USAID implementers such as the Famine and Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), Harande, Livestock for Growth (L4G), ICRISAT, World Vision, and CRS. The COP also conducted meetings with Sahel Eco. Further, the COP met with Blumont (formerly IRD), who are carrying out climate change activities in the Mopti Region with funding from DFID. The collaboration and meetings with these projects is specifically focused on making climate information and seasonal forecasts available to the beneficiaries in order to assist them with making informed livelihood decisions. Collaboration facilitates adoption of strategies by vulnerable populations to overcome the effects of climate change and helps partners avoid duplication of efforts.
MCCAA held several meetings with CARE’s Harande Project and staff from both initiatives collaborate frequently. MCCAA worked with the COP, DCOP and CARE International’s country director. MCCAA transmitted the seasonal forecast to Harande to facilitate the distribution to villages where MCCAA is not working, MCCAA participated in workshops hosted by Harande about their overall approach to community interventions. MCCAA invited Harande agents to workshops that focused upon climate change and it impacts upon Mali. MCCAA staff regularly attend the USAID partners meeting in Sévaré and MCCAA has served as host for the meeting on several occasions.
Distribution of Drought Resistant Seed. MCCAA distributed seed, fertilizer, and fungicide to village in 13 communes: Barapireli, Dimbal Habbe, Doucombo, Dougoutene2, Koporona, Kolongou Habbe, Lessagou Habbe, Lowol Gueou, Ouenkoro, Pel Maoudé, Pignari, Soubala, Tori. The total quantity distributed: 2,566 kilograms of improved seed; 642 packets of Apron Star; 1,725 kilograms of DAP and 1,995 kilograms of NPK. For a complete breakdown of distribution, see Annex H.
Subcontracts with partners. MCCAA signed a fixed-price service delivery subcontract with Sahel Eco that enabled them to engage 35 staff to work alongside local populations in 331 villages in 31 communes to introduce adaptive technologies to climate change. Chemonics also signed a fixed-price sub-contract with Mali Météo to provide greater access to climate information to Activity beneficiaries and reinforce Mali Météo’s outreach in the Mopti Region with goals to create sustainable local structures and better package timely and accurate climate information with resources to help beneficiaries make livelihood decisions. Additionally, Chemonics signed a grant agreement with ASIC to promote utilization of assisted natural regeneration.
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 10
Year 5 work planning workshop. From July 9-10 MCCAA carried out year 5 work planning. This workshop was attended by MCCAA long term staff, representatives from Sahel Eco, as well as honored guests from USAID/Mali. The first day focused on a review of year 4 progress, results, and challenges. The second day focused on creating a year 5 work plan. This planning process resulted in productive dialogue among attendees, the identification of synergies with other USAID- and donor-funded projects, and the selection of key milestones for each result and intermediate result. Having Sahel Eco in the room for these discussions was extremely helpful in allowing them to also better understand the comprehensive approach MCCAA takes to working with local organizations and planning for safety and compliance. The output of the workshop was an initial version of a Gantt chart as well as a comprehensive list of action items and feedback related to security, grants and subcontracts, M&E, operations, and finance. MCCAA submitted its year 5 work plan to USAID.
Challenges
Security situation. MCCAA continued to monitor local and regional conditions to operate in the dynamic and fluid security environment in Mopti region. MCCAA continues to operate based on the recommendations of the Chemonics Security Director following an in-country security assessment. These recommendations are as follows: • No travel to Tenenkou Circle, Youwarou Circle and Douentza Circle and North of Niger river due to significant risk posed to staff due to terrorism and use of Improvised Explosive Devices IEDs; • No travel further East than 25 kilometers from Konna town and no travel 20 kilometers West of Konna town; • Limited stays in Bandiagara and Djenné circles to one night when possible; • Use of strict journey management controls including sat phones and vehicle trackers. In June 2019 Chemonics Security Director, Jon Boeve and Security Manager, Leo Forder traveled to Mali to undertake a security assessment. The recommendations listed above remain in place and the following recommendations were added: • Provide all staff with advanced first-aid training; • Provide all staff with HEAT training; • Update project Emergency Action Plan with focus on update to evacuation plans; • Provide refresher training to security coordinator and drivers on use of vehicle trackers.
B. Result 1: Use of Effective Climate Information by Vulnerable Populations Increased
In FY19, MCCAA worked with Mali Météo and end users (farmers, who were engaged through our village-level focal points) in our zones of intervention to better understand the current usefulness of agro-meteorological information currently accessible, and what viable opportunities exist to improve information, strengthen or create coordination bodies at a sub-regional level, and improve access to it in order to ameliorate livelihood activities, particularly agriculture and livestock. MCCAA’s Institutional Capacity Building Specialist and Community Resilience Expert led activities under this Result 1, with strategic support throughout the year from Bamako.

To ensure that focal points understand the terms used both in the Agromet Toolbox and in the daily, weekly, and ten-day forecasts that are broadcast via 8 radio stations in Mopti Region, MCCAA reinforced key terms during climate change adaptation training and reinforcement training on rain gauge utilization.
To help local non-governmental organizations, local associations, and Mali’s citizens – children and adults alike –to better understand climate data, weather predictions, and how this climate data could be used, MCCAA organized trainings on the definition and aspects of climate change, how to interpret climate data, and trends of climate change impacts upon Mali, namely that there are chronic stresses and catastrophic events which arrive in the form of either drier or wetter years that lead to extreme dryness and loss of crops to flooding. Climate change has led to these stresses and shocks coming more frequently with greater severity and higher temperatures. Linking climate information to a selection of one or more adaptation techniques is important given that users need to make decisions about when to carryout activities and which activities to carryout based upon this information. Sahel Eco worked to reinforce these concepts with producers. Additionally, MCCAA trained 227 students and teachers on trends of climate change impacts upon Mali and all beneficiaries who are trained in an adaptation technology are trained in climate change. In total we trained 206,413 (68,067 without double counting) people on climate change and climate change adaptation in FY19 of which 41% were women. Feedback from the anonymous evaluations of the training indicates significant satisfaction. Participants noted that after having attended training sessions, they could finally link actual weather patterns to climate change. It appears that people understand change and impact – but understood far less what is happening around them climatically that is causing the climate change. Understanding this cause is key to facilitating adaptation.

Finally, during FY19 Mali Météo’s 10-year strategic plan, which had been refined in previous reporting periods with MCCAA support, was formally adopted by the Council of Ministers and will move Mali Météo forward in developing public-private partnerships. It is hoped that this will diversify Mali Météo’s funding stream. During the reporting quarter, the COP presented this plan to Acting USAID Mission Director, Anne Williams.

Challenges MCCAA faced some challenges with weaknesses of some project focal points but far less than in years 1- 3. The security situation led a few focal points to leave their villages and move to larger cities – passing on the role of focal point to one of the communities relais with whom they had worked.
Intermediate Result 1.2: Stakeholders access to climate data and predictions, analysis and decision- support tools improved
Progress to Date
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 13
In FY19 MCCAA continued to work directly with 331 village-level focal points who in turn guided village- level rain gauge climate change committees with 30 members in each village. This resulted in not only having a key person in each village intimately aware of how much rain has fallen in the village, but also a network that could share this vital information. As a result, this has increased stakeholder access to climate data that could be used to support improved decision making especially given that each of the 30 members was linked to one of three rain gauges in the village.
MCCAA was charged with the task of improving decision-making in climate change programming for stakeholders. In this regard, we identified 24 key local associations and provided climate change adaptation training to those associations. Through the use of USAID OCA and GCC modified tools MCCAA was able to monitor change within these association. In year 4, MCCAA continued to reinforce knowledge of climate change and climate change adaptation with many organizations through climate change adaptation training with emphasis on how to use climate information. Prior to these trainings, in practical terms, this meant that engaging most of the organizations with whom we work would not have been possible as their understanding of climate change was limited.
MCCAA issued a fixed-price subcontract to Sahel Eco and a grant agreement to ASIC during FY19 to work directly with focal points and introduce adaptation technologies.
During the reporting period MCCAA made available through its Radio Stations Disseminating Climate Information in Mopti Region partnership with Mali Météo: 1. Bandiagara: Banguine Radio 2. Koro: Orona Radio • 365 daily forecasts; 3. Douentza: Dande Douentza • 4. Djenné: Jamana Radio 52 weekly forecasts; 5. Bankass: Kantiguiya Radio • 36 ten-day forecasts; 6. Mopti: ORTM 7. Tenenkou: Beldohore Radio • 1 Seasonal forecast. 8. Youwarou: Dande Deboye
MCCAA, through its partnership with Mali Météo, diffused these forecasts on 8 radio stations in Mopti Region. Further, to reinforce the transmission of this information, MCCAA sent all forecasts to USAID implementing partners.
Challenges MCCAA is seeking to directly link farmers with information from Mali Météo and to do so in a more creative fashion, working with actors in between the national level (Mali Météo based in Bamako) and the local level (end user farmers). To make this happen MCCAA worked with existing GLAMs in Bankass, Koro, Mopti, Djenné and Bandiagara and GCAMs in Soufroulaye, Madiama, Doucombo and Dialassagou. In many areas, these entities do not exist, and where they do already exist, their ability to organize and assess whether current forecasts are reflective of actual weather conditions and how these weather conditions could affect livelihood activities is weak. Our engagement with Mali Météo in year 5 will continue to support them to strengthen GCAMs/GLAMs in order to tighten the communication link between Mali Météo and the GLAMS/GCAMs and, in turn, between the GLAMs/GCAMs and MCCAA’s Climate Proofing Committees.
Intermediate Result 1.3: Capacity of stakeholders to use climate data and predictions, analysis, and decision-support tools improved
Progress to Date
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 14
Helping literate individuals to understand weather-related probabilities is a complex task. MCCAA’s challenge has been to help many semi-literate and illiterate individuals to understand probabilities. Climate forecasts tend to use terms such as “probable,” “highly probable,” “likely,” or percentages such as 40 percent, 60 percent, or 80 percent. The utility of this kind of information lies in how each individual perceives the percentage and varies greatly from person to person. Thus, when focal points inform the members of the community about the possibility of rain it is important to couch the discussion in terms of something that may happen but may not. It is imperative that “certainty” is not emphasized. A climate forecast is a tool – however it is a tool that is not always perceived as accurate but with MCCAA sensitization local populations are being helped to view the information as a guide – not a certainty.
Another key area of activity under this IR is MCCAA’s work with communities to create and train rain gauge committees. These committees are headed by the community focal points. Training for the committees starts with the basics – the purpose of the rain gauge, how to use and read a rain gauge, and how it can be of use to communities. Members of the rain gauge committee then begin placing observations in the rain gauge register. The register serves as a daily observation and allows farmers to determine when it is time to plant. It also permits villages to track on a monthly and yearly basis the amount of rainfall and allows villages themselves to determine if there was more or less rainfall within a given year. It gives villages the power to determine if it has been a good, average, or poor year for rainfall based upon villages-level observations and upon the village examining their own historical record. Villages can directly use this information to advocate for government assistance. If a village in question has been linked to climate insurance, it gives the village a means to demonstrate that they are also aware of the accumulated rainfall. The rain gauge thereby serves as an important tool that empowers villages.
MCCAA held two unique external communication events about climate information during the reporting period.
From June 5, 2019 to June 17, 2019 MCCAA supported the Direction Régionale des Eaux et Forêts (DREF) in the yearly events linked to World Environment Day. This year MCCAA supported the following activities: • Two training modules given to audiences attending events: Climate change; sustainable natural resource management; • Support of radio diffusion of key messages linked to both modules noted above; • Rental of location where trainings were held and refreshments’ In total MCCAA contributed 562,000 FCFA to the event. MCCAA also received a certificate of recognition from DREF for the project’s support over the past four years of the project.
MCCAA along with Mali Météo presented the Agromet Toolbox system at the USAID Feed the Future Declaration Event on 27 June 2019 attended by the US Ambassador, the Minister of Agriculture, USAID Mission Director, and USAID Assistant Mission Director.
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 15
Presentation of the Agromet Toolbox system to USAID Finally, MCCAA completed an effectiveness study during FY19 with the goal to measure the number of stakeholders who use climate information in decision-making and the use of adaptation technologies to overcome the effects of climate change. MCCAA engaged a consultant that led a team in carrying out the assessment.
Key findings include but are not limited to:
Impacts of Climate Information and Climate Change Adaptation Technologies: Survey interview findings reveal overwhelmingly positive effects of using climate information and climate change adaptation training to improve agricultural output and food security. Beneficiaries report positive impacts across key sectors: crop and livestock production, agricultural income, and food security.
Constraints in Uptake of Climate Information and Climate Change Adaptation Technologies: The primary barriers identified that limit use of climate information include: limited access to financial resources, continued difficulties accessing agricultural inputs. The principal constraints identified that limit the use of climate change adaptation training include: inadequate access to agricultural inputs; scarcity of farm labor, equipment or financial resources; and insufficient and/or poor quality of land.
The effectiveness study was submitted to USAID during the reporting period.
Challenges
Literacy remains a challenge for the populations with whom MCCAA works. MCCAA will encourage participants to use the Alpha Centers that the HARANDE project is setting up in villages where MCCAA also works.
Strategy for Result 1 in Year 5
For Result 1 MCCAA will hold an external event in FY 2019 wherein utilization of climate information is linked to adaptation. Further, MCCAA will carry out another study to measure use of climate information and application of adaptive technologies in FY 2019. MCCAA working through the sub- contract with Mali Météo will create four new GCAMs (if security permits) and supervise activities of existing GLAMs and GCAMs to link those structures with focal points and local radio stations.

During the reporting period MCCAA worked with local government personnel to link their commune climate change action plans to financing. MCCAA carried out a survey of all 42 communes where the project has worked to determine the level to which local governments were able to use the plans and to identify issues that are preventing use of those plans. The result of that contact is presented in Annex E. Security is posing significant challenges for many communes where MCCAA works. During the reporting period MCCAA made contact with the European Union, the Green Climate Fund and the United Nations Capital Development Fund. Funds that are linked to climate change require that local authorities are present in the respective commune and that there is stability to allow for long-term development to take place. Many of the communes where MCCAA operates do not meet either of these criteria.
In addition to working with local government personnel, MCCAA Chief of Party, Field Adaptation Specialist, and Gender and Vulnerable Populations Specialist worked with several local associations to raise their awareness of climate change and climate change adaptation. The work with each association started by an analysis of their capacity and during the reporting period a re-evaluation. The results of these re-evaluations are presented in Annex F.
Intermediate Result 2.1: Integration of climate change into commune-level planning in targeted areas increased
Progress to Date
Led by Governance Expert Josué Kamaté, MCCAA worked with 42 communes in Mopti Region. During the reporting year MCCAA focused on linking commune level climate change action plans to financing. MCCAA followed upon with communes and the results of the contact with communes that report that the climate change action plans were used to guide interventions are presented in Annex G.
Challenges
Security has had a direct impact upon many of the communes where MCCAA is working to implement the climate change action plans. While the plans serve to guide what interventions are possible donors seem unwilling to invest resources linked to climate change in the current security environment.
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 17
Intermediate Result 2.2: Capacity of local NGOs in climate change adaptation strengthened
Progress to Date
MCCAA, using a modified GCC Capacity Assessment Tool, carried out follow-up assessments on 24 local associations with whom MCCAA has worked. Local associations work directly with focal points and provide a method by which focal points and relais can reach people. The local associations provide MCCAA yet another means by which to reach more youth and women and engage them in the project. The local associations include: Thon Ka Mono, Nadamama, Djingomorindji, Amassagou, Boguina Djiriyama, Société Coopérative BENKADI SABOUGNOUMA, Association SODJOUGA, Association BADJINAN ALA TON, Nanjuga, Nadjougama, Amakene, Merebara, Sabougnouma, Djiguitougou, Edjuko, Sindjère, Amakéné, Amassagou, Moniyama, Yakéné, Coop des femmes du campement, Minssoungou, Mono ire, Association des jeunes de Toroli. The results of the follow-up assessments are in Annex F.
Challenges N/A.
Strategy for Result 2 in Year 5
Making these links to commune level climate change action plans requires that donors are ready and willing to invest in Mopti Region during a period that is turbulent in terms of security. MCCAA will keep USAID informed of its progress on this issue. MCCAA will continue to work with village-level associations.
D. Result 3: Adoption of Local Solutions to Climate FY 2019 Achievements: Result 3 Variability and Change in Targeted Areas Increased • Completed annual effectiveness study of use of climate information Building awareness among local governments, local non- in climate change adaptation and governmental organizations and vulnerable populations to the effectiveness of adaptive the effects of climate change and the impacts (current and practices used by demonstration farmers future) is an important step; however, an equally important • 30,320 farmers and others have next step is to help those populations to adopt local applied improved technologies or solutions to current and future vulnerability and change to management practices reduce the overall level of stress that climate change places • Placed 59,968.39 hectares under a technology to facilitate adaptation upon those vulnerable populations.

Given the number of training individuals (both MCCAA direct beneficiaries and community members in neighboring villages) who report hearing this information through the radio, the study also concludes that MCCAA should continue to broadcast climate information through the radio. Further, in terms of technologies, local populations
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 18
have adopted and used those which seem to require less outlay of capital, showing in particular great interest in RNA, composting, and post-harvest loss prevention. Lack of soil fertility remains a significant concern among the local population as does access to capital to be able to afford to use other technologies. MCCAA has given priority to introducing multiple technologies to local populations so that they could carry out themselves without further project support. This leaves the beneficiaries more independent and builds resilience.
MCCAA collaborated with Harande and L4G to share information about the identified constraints and needs of MCCAA beneficiaries. However, given that seeds, fertilizer, and pesticide are all expensive and not always easily available it is important that farmers better understand when it is the proper time to plant and when to apply fertilizer and pesticide. For example, a farmer would not want to apply pesticide if it were to rain three hours later. It is also important to prepare farmers for years when drought may make farming very difficult and alternatives to provide means for the family must be found. For these reasons, MCCAA introduced to farmers key technologies that were interlinked: 1) Enrichment of the straw with urea; 2) Improved poultry farming; 3) Improved Rabbit Production; 4) Fruit tree planting without watering (PLASA technique); 5) Live hedge rows; 6) Intensive rice cultivation system (SRI); 7) Manufacture and application of biopesticides. MCCAA also continued to work with farmers to introduce RNA, micro dosing, drought resistant seeds and safe pesticide use, water and soil conservation. In FY20, MCCAA envisions introducing three new technologies: improved fodder production, fruit tree grafting, chopped/baled hay. MCCAA will apply the lessons learned through the effectiveness study. We will also be exploring ways in which to link producers with USAID-partner Harande and the private sector to help them overcome access issues and to build sustainability.
Intermediate Result 3.1: Effectiveness of key adaptive strategies assessed
Progress to Date
In FY19, MCCAA procured climate-resilient seed (rice and peanuts), fertilizer (diammonium phosphate, nitrogen-phosphorous-potassium, and urea), and pesticides (Apron Star fungicide) to distribute to demonstration farmers. MCCAA distributed rice seeds and appropriate inputs to villages in the communes of: Barapireli, Dimbal Habbe, Doucombo, Dougoutene2, Koporona, Kolongou Habbe, Lessagou Habbe, Lowol Gueou, Ouenkoro, Pel Maoudé, Pignari, Soubala, Tori for the FY 2019 agricultural season beginning in June 2019. MCCAA distributed 2566 kilograms of improved seed; 642 packets of Apron Star; 1725 kilograms of DAP, and 1995 kilograms of NPK to a total of 147 women and 683 men, or a total of 830 individuals assisted.
MCCAA conducted an effectiveness study with focus on the use of climate information and adaptive technologies by project beneficiaries to overcome the effects of climate change. This assessment was comprehensive and allowed MCCAA to get a very clear picture of how beneficiaries are using climate information, from where they are getting their information, and what are the remaining impediments to their applying adaptive technologies. The report was submitted to USAID during the reporting period. The effectiveness study examined villages with and without MCCAA adaptation training services. Key findings of the effectiveness study include:
• Households with-services are more aware of daily climate information than households without- services. The finding of a greater awareness of daily and seasonal climate information among households with services is constant throughout the survey:
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 19
• Households with-services have much greater trust in daily climate information in all four Mali livelihood zones (MLZ)s. • Households with-services recorded that they had heard a lot or had heard a reasonable amount about climate change adaptation technologies. Whereas, households without-services had not heard or had only heard a little about these technologies • Households with-services recorded significantly greater awareness of climate change adaptation technologies in all four MLZs. MCCAA continues to reinforce some technologies given the issue of soil fertility in Mopti Region. Refresher trainings on water and soil conservation technologies, composting, mulching and village- made biopesticides to help beneficiaries who lack inputs to respond to this gap. Further, MCCAA has increased the number of technologies in which women may participate and translated key climatic terms into local languages to make it easier for focal points to explain concepts to villages. MCCAA has decided to expand work with women’s associations in year 5 of the project. Many of these associations were assisted by L4G and have been trained in some resilience techniques but not in others. Even though the L4G project has closed we will continue to work with associations assisted by this project.
Challenges The only significant challenge that MCCAA faced in terms of assessment of adaptive strategies is that due to the security situation in Mopti Region that survey teams could not access all original villages selected. This required selecting a few alternate villages for the effectiveness study.
Intermediate Result 3.2: Effective adaptive strategies communicated
Progress to Date
The answer to the question about “effectiveness” was answered by the effectiveness study submitted to USAID during the reporting period. Farmers seem overwhelmingly pleased by the technologies introduced as it helped them to adapt to the changing climate in Mopti Region. For example, improved seeds can increase agricultural production, ANR is easily adopted and applied by producers, and composting is well appreciated, even if composting requires some effort in some areas (Koro, Bankass) because of the difficulties of access to water at certain times. Another key issue that the effectiveness study clearly demonstrated is that farmers lack access to inputs – most nearly due to the lack of ability to purchase. It is for that reason that MCCAA has focused its efforts to introduce technologies that can be replicated by farmers despite lack of significant access to capital. Examples include natural assisted regeneration, bio-pesticides that can be made at the village level, composting and mulching. Many of these technologies address a key issue brought out in the effectiveness study: soil fertility.
MCCAA continued to introduce beneficiaries to multiple technologies to prepare them for different climate shocks and stresses. Beneficiaries were trained on the following technologies during the reporting period:
Improved gardening techniques. The aim of these trainings is to reinforce the producers' capacities on good market gardening practices to improve their production and their income. Trainings covered techniques such as making garden beds, improved nursery production techniques, improved sowing / transplanting and maintenance techniques, market gardening, association and rotation of vegetable crops, and improved seeds. Field agents trained producers and relais at the village level.
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 20
Improved harvest and post-harvest techniques. These trainings are a strategy to build producers' capacities on good harvesting and post-harvest practices, including good programming and good harvesting, best practices for transport, storage and conservation of crops. This will reduce losses at harvest and post-harvest. These trainings focused on the following crops: millet, rice, sorghum, fonio, cowpeas, peanuts, and V/Wouandzou.

Beneficiaries using straw bundling machine, following training on use of this equipment. Mulching. Field agents trained farmers in fields and market gardens on mulching techniques. Mulching is an excellent means of fertilization by restoring the nutrients needed to feed crops. It keeps moisture in the soil, prevents the fruit from touching the ground, and discourages rot and pest attacks. It promotes healthy and high-quality production. This technique is increasingly practiced in vegetable gardens.
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 21

Composting. The purpose of these trainings is to build the capacity of producers on good heap and pit composting practices. After the various trainings in the villages by supervisors, composting can be adopted both in fields and vegetable gardens. Composting contributes to the supply of manure.
Beneficiary demonstrating row making and spreading out of compost in Pignari commune
Small animal fattening. Field agents focused these trainings on women's groups. These trainings improve beneficiary animal fattening practices, particularly on:
• The choice of suitable animals for fattening small ruminants; • The choice of buying periods for fattening animals; • The construction of a barn suitable for fattening small ruminants; • Identification of equipment and material for fattening small ruminants; • Adequate duration for fattening of small ruminants; • Adequate animal health monitoring; • Provision of good food rationing to the animals; • Choosing sales periods for animals; • The establishment and management of an operating account for their activities.
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 22
Water and soil conservation. The field agents trained the producers mainly on stony cords and zai, whose roles were to contribute effectively to the restoration of degraded and barren lands by reducing the runoff of rainwater, slowing flow of water, and reducing the transport of fertile soil and gullying and silting phenomena, in order to fight land erosion. This also aims to conserve water and improve irrigation.
Assisted Natural Regeneration. Supervisors train farmers on good ANR practices in the fields, which involves promoting the natural regeneration of woody species in cultivated plots. This practice is geared towards the greatest diversity of species to optimize the total yield of the plots.
Production and use of bio-pesticides. These trainings are intended to improve the knowledge of market gardeners on the different formulas of biopesticides against the pests of market garden crops. The trainings focused on products (inputs) used in the manufacture of biopesticides, materials, and equipment necessary for the manufacture of biopesticides, alternative products used in GIPD (integrated management of predators and pests), the production of biopesticides used in market gardening production, and the use biopesticide treatment. Materials used to make these bio-pesticides include garlic, hot pepper, neem seeds, tobacco, papaya leaves, tomato plants, and soap.
Beneficiaries preparing biopesticides for use in market gardens in Bankassi, Sio
Striga control (composting – micro dose, crop association. Striga is a significant problem for producers in many villages where MCCAA works. Using a combination of techniques striga can slowly be controlled. MCCAA continues to promote this technology given the issue posed by striga for many producers.
Training of producers and agents of Sahel Eco on control of caterpillars by raising and releasing Habrobracon hebetor. The overall objective of the training was to enable the focal points and facilitators to master the techniques for controlling caterpillars by breeding and putting in the field Habrobracon hebetor. The wasp is a natural enemy of the caterpillar and can attack the caterpillar before it destroys the millet plant.
Food processing and transformation. This training focused on helping women understand how to clean and transform fonio and then package that fonio for sale on the market. Fonio is a small grain cereal that can be grown in 6-8 weeks and can be grown under poor soil conditions. The major issue with fonio is that it is difficult to clean, and this makes it less desirable to most households. However, due to its very hearty resistance to pests as well it is a crop that can build resilience in many communities in
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 23
central Mali. Women’s Cooperatives transform fonio and create a packaged product that is ready to cook.
A women’s cooperative working through steps in the fonio transformation process
Improved poultry raising. Field agents carried out numbers of trainings at the village level in Bandiagara, Bankass, Djenne, Koro and Mopti Cercles. The training used a participatory approach, including questions and answers, debates, and case studies. The modules developed were as follows: Module 1: General information on poultry farming; Module 2: Definition of improved poultry farming; Module 3: Housing construction and equipment in improved poultry farming; Module 4: Cleaning and disinfection of the hen house; Module 5: Pathology and prophylaxis in improved poultry farming; Module 6: Power supply; Module 7: Termite capture technique; Module 8: Reproduction and manpower management; and Module 9: Diagnosis and treatment in improved poultry farming.
Improved rabbit raising. A training of trainers was organized in two sessions in Bandiagara. This two-day workshop focused on the proper breeding techniques of rabbits and was conducted with the assistance of the Regional Directorate of Productions and Animal Industries (DRPIA). The training employed a participatory approach based on questions and answers; case studies; visiting a rabbit breeding workshop; and an evaluation at the end of the training. The modules developed were as follows: Module 1: Advantages and disadvantages of rabbit production; Module 2: Rabbit breeds; Module 3: Reproduction and manpower management; Module 4: Housing; Module 5: Food; Module 6: Diseases; Module 7: Handling Rabbits;
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 24
Module 8: Operating Account. Field agents and focal points carried out training on improved rabbit raising in Bankass, Bandiagara, Mopti, Djenne and Koro Cercles.
Focal point demonstrating improved rabbit raising technique Fodder Treated with Urea. Working with the Regional Directorate of Productions and Animal Industries (DRPIA) -Mopti, MCCAA introduced this technique. The purpose of the training is to improve the skills of producers and facilitators on the method of treating roughage with urea. Thanks to the treatment of roughage with urea, it is possible not only to enhance their nutritional value but also to improve their digestibility and increase their ingestion by animals. This technology enables a farmer to use low quality roughage and treat in a manner that results in a product that is highly nutritional. This enables farmers to produce a product that on the open market is expensive. Thus, farmers can use what they have and purchase a limited quantity of urea and produce a product that if they purchased on the open market would use significant amount of the limited monetary resources that farmers have.
Training on climate change. In order to ensure the inclusive and responsible participation of all social categories in climate change adaptation activities, training in schools on climate change was conducted on 05, 11 and 12 March 2019. Despite a series of teachers' strikes, the school authorities of three (3) schools in the Mopti circle (commune of Sio) were able to mobilize the students for the success of the training. T-shirts and caps with USAID branding were made and distributed in schools to students.
The training aimed to: • Help students understand the basics of climate change; • Involve teachers and students in the activities of MCCAA; • Encourage students to take actions and adopt resilient behaviors; • Encourage students to become aware of and adopt environmentally responsible behavior.
A total of 218 people benefited from this training, including: • 208 students, including 104 girls; • 9 teachers; • 1 Deputy Mayor.
Additionally, field agents and village-level focal points carried out climate change training in Koro, Bankass, Bandiagara, Djenne, and Mopti Cercles.
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 25
Fruit tree planting techniques (PLASA method), and Utilization of Live hedgerows. The PLASA (Planter Without Watering) method is a new tree planting technique in the dry season that can significantly reduce the plant's watering frequency, while maintaining the survival and growth rate.
Beneficiaries applying the PLASA method during trainings in Koro and Bankass
The basic principle is to ensure that the hair fringe the main source of water supply to the plant remains wet during in the dry season. The PLASA Method saves water and time: one (01) liter of water per week per plant, a watering frequency ranging from one time per week to one time every fifteen days to possibly one time a month, and often at zero watering during the dry season. This variable depends among other things on the species of the plant, the climate, the nature of the soil. Live hedge rows are linear plantation of trees, shrubs, shrubbery or grasses of one or more rows. Planted perpendicular to the most dominant wind direction they can be helpful in minimizing damage to crops.
Intensive Rice Systems (IRS). The Intensive Rice System (IRS) is a crop methodology designed to increase the productivity of irrigated rice cultivation by changing the management of plants, soil, water and nutrients while reducing input quantities. IRS uses much less seed than conventional production. For example, in irrigated systems in Mali, farmers use only 6 kg / ha of seed for IRS, while traditionally they use 40-60 kg / ha - a 85-90% reduction in seed. Farmers also use a limited amount or no nitrogen fertilizer. The results in most cases is increase in paddy rice yields. This system allows rice farmers in Mali to adapt to dry sequences that are getting longer and longer.
Beneficiary applying IRS method (Namague Village, Lowel Geou Commune)
The main steps involved with IRS are: • Preparation of the rice parcel • Plowing of the rice parcel • Soaking or pre-germination of rice seeds prior to putting in the nursery
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 26
• The nursery: preparation of the nursery, sowing & nursery maintenance • Put in water and put in mud in the rice parcel • Transplanting: taking the seedlings out of the nursery, transplanting in the open field, managing the fields after transplanting • Seeding and Weeding: Seed rice - one plant per pocket; manual weeding, hoeing and aeration of soil • Fertilization • Water Management: Irrigation, drying
Key Principles with IRS: • Plant early, at the 2-leaf stage (about 8-12 days after germination), • To transplant one plant per pocket, • Adopt a wider spacing (25 cm x 25 cm or more) between plants, • Fertilize with organic matter and add chemical fertilizer only when needed, • Apply alternate irrigation by flood and drought during the vegetative growth phase, • Use a mechanical weeder.
Challenges N/A.
Intermediate Result 3.3: Socio-economic barriers to adoption of adaptive strategies reduced
Progress to Date MCCAA continued to introduce adoption strategies that farmers, despite social and economic barriers, can use to assist in overcoming the effects of climate change. Technologies that farmers can use that do not require significant outlay of capital make those farmers more resilient to shocks and stresses. The farmers themselves do not need to wait for the Government of Mali or a project to assist them but can react themselves to the issue posed. MCCAA will continue to learn from beneficiaries which technologies they find useful and adapt accordingly. Technologies that many farmers adopted and expressed their appreciation for, as is noted in the study conducted during the reporting period, included DRS/CES, RNA, improved seeds, mulching and composting. These technologies can be applied to help beneficiaries overcome the loss of soil fertility, without needed to buy chemical fertilizers and help keep the soil in their field fertile by helping to prevent soil erosion.
Challenges The effectiveness study that was completed during the reporting period clearly identified some issues that beneficiaries are facing that are beyond the scope of this activity to address, most notably women’s lack of access to arable land. Finding creative ways to assist women to adapt to the effects of climate change remains a challenge for the project.
Strategy for Result 3 in Year 5 In FY20, MCCAA’s strategy will be very similar to that of FY19; however MCCAA will introduce a limited number of new technologies to farmers carrying out demonstration plots and reinforce technologies previously introduced, measure the field area using GPS for farmers who had clearly applied the technology, assess whether the promoted technologies are being implemented by farmers and whether farmers feel the technologies are an effective aspect of their adaptation to climate change. MCCAA plans to continue to sub-contract with Sahel Eco to provide field monitoring. Further, MCCAA plans to
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 27
hold two project-specific learning events – one in Sévaré and the other in Bamako – to share with the wider development community the lessons that we have learned.
SECTION 5. MONITORING AND EVALUATION MCCAA has met frequently with USAID throughout FY19 to discuss M&E, and on September 30, 2019 USAID through MSI launched the office-level DQA on three MCCAA indicators:
1. EG. 3-2: Number of individuals participating in USG food security programs [IM-level] 2. EG.3-10,-11,-12 Yield of targeted agricultural commodities among program participants with USG assistance [IM-level] 3. EG.3.2-28: Number of hectares under improved management practices or technologies that promote improved climate risk reduction and/or natural resources
MSI will carry out field DQA activities during the next reporting quarter.
Once the findings of this DQA are finalized by MSI and shared with MCCAA, MCCAA will revise the AMEP as needed and submit to USAID in Q1 of FY20 so that we can jointly agree on how to best measure results.
MCCAA’s results are presented in the FY19 Indicator Table that is attached as Annex B. Results for Year 4 have been disaggregated accordingly and tracked based on whether they are FTF or custom indicators and whether the data was collected in zones of Mopti that are designated as FTF and/or resilience communes.
Key Lessons Learned In FY19, MCCAA learned key lessons that will enable the project to adapt and provide better service to beneficiaries and provide evidence that our work with beneficiaries is having tangible effects. First, through the work that MCCAA has carried out with Sahel Eco and the resulting institutional strengthening of their organization, the project has seen a great improvement in how they carry out their activities. Their understanding of climate change and climate change adaptation has significantly improved, and this not only helped this organization but also the vulnerable populations with whom they are working. Finally, most of the decision makers who will seek out and use climate information are male. MCCAA’s work with local women’s associations has helped to bridge the project with women in many communities. MCCAA will be working with existing and new women’s associations in FY20 to encourage even greater female participation in our activities.
Challenges There were no challenges collecting or analyzing data this reporting period.
SECTION 6. GENDER, YOUTH, AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE
A. Gender and Youth
Progress to Date
During the reporting period, the Gender and Vulnerable Populations Specialist actively carried out activities for MCCAA linked to involving more women in MCCAA activities. The Gender and Vulnerable Populations Specialist led the work to formally evaluate 24 local associations and build their knowledge
MCCAA FY 2019 Annual Report 28
of climate change and climate change adaptation. The results of these assessments are presented in Annex F.
Challenges
The teachers strike in FY19 impacted the number of schools with which MCCAA worked.
B. Environmental Compliance
Progress to Date
USAID approved MCCAA’s Environmental Monitoring and Mitigation Plan (EMMP) in FY 2016. MCCAA updated the EMMP to include new activities proposed during the Option Period. During the implementation of MCCAA’s activities in FY19 staff and partners were trained to understand the specific measures to be carried out to minimize risk to the environment. MCCAA updated the Pesticide Evaluation Report Safer Use Action Plan (PERSUAP) Plan and it is being used by our Environmental Focal Point. A PERSUAP Compliance Tracker documenting activities carried out in FY19 is provided in Annex C along with the Environmental Mitigation and Monitoring Report in Annex D. During the reporting year, all mitigation measures were implemented successfully and MCCAA did not experience any negative incidents that required corrective action.
Challenges MCCAA did not experience challenges with environmental compliance during the reporting period.
