Escaping Poverty Traps and Unlocking Prosperity in the Face of Climate Risk
This Element outlines the origins and evolution of an international award-winning development intervention, index-based livestock insurance (IBLI), which scaled from a small pilot project in Kenya to a design that underpins drought risk management products and policies across Africa. General insights are provided on i) the economics of poverty, risk management, and drylands development; ii) the evolving use of modern remote sensing and data science tools in development; iii) the science of scaling; and iv) the value and challenges of integrating research with operational implementation to tackle development and humanitarian challenges in some of the world's poorest regions. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
The Digitalisation of African Agriculture Report 2018–2019
An inclusive, digitally-enabled agricultural transformation could help achieve meaningful livelihood improvements for Africa’s smallholder farmers and pastoralists. It could drive greater engagement in agriculture from women and youth and create employment opportunities along the value chain. At CTA we staked a claim on this power of digitalisation to more systematically transform agriculture early on. Digitalisation, focusing on not individual ICTs but the application of these technologies to entire value chains, is a theme that cuts across all of our work. In youth entrepreneurship, we are fostering a new breed of young ICT ‘agripreneurs’. In climate-smart agriculture multiple projects provide information that can help towards building resilience for smallholder farmers. And in women empowerment we are supporting digital platforms to drive greater inclusion for women entrepreneurs in agricultural value chains.
Navigating Uncertainty
Uncertainties are everywhere. Whether it’s climate change, financial volatility, pandemic outbreaks or new technologies, we don’t know what the future will hold. For many contemporary challenges, navigating uncertainty – where we cannot predict what may happen – is essential and, as the book explores, this is much more than just managing risk. But how is this done, and what can we learn from different contexts about responding to and living with uncertainty? Indeed, what might it mean to live from uncertainty? Drawing on experiences from across the world, the chapters in this book explore finance and banking, technology regulation, critical infrastructures, pandemics, natural disaste...
Pastoralism, Uncertainty and Development
Featuring case studies from Africa, Asia, and Europe, this book explores how pastoral mobility is sustained, how resources are managed, how markets are combined, how social protections are provided, and how patterns of accumulation and investment are sustained in a more globalized, interconnected world.
Agile Data-Oriented Research Tools to Support Smallholder Farm System Transformation
Smallholder farming systems contribute a substantial quantity of the food consumed in many lower and middle-income countries and contribute to the national and local economies. Despite the importance of smallholder farming, a transformation is needed in order to deliver food security and decent incomes for the farmers themselves and at the national level. This transformation must also be sustainable in terms of environmental impacts and social equity in order to be successful in the long term. The pressures of population growth, climate change, and land fragmentation compound the problem. Addressing these overlapping issues is a big challenge. One obstacle is the lack of good quality granula...
Thirty Five Years Of State Led Genocide In The Presence Of Au And International Community In Ethiopia
The church is the one that played the leading role in preventing our country from being invaded by white colonists. Being a source of ethics and morals, the contribution that the church made in the building a cultured society that loves the country and is governed by low is witnessed by foreigners as well. It has ists own language and Alphabet, and has contributed books useful for civilization, art language, landscape, forest and natural resource conservation, and architectural research. However, all these contribution has forgotten, that the church has made, and it‘s currently under attack, wich is planned and abstract, supported by the government and wich even the political parties are involved in ... ... This wrong thinking of theirs is actively contributing to the push of orthodoxy. Among the reasons that make the government participate directly or indirectly in the attack on the church and its believers is the one mentioned in the main, but there are also other reasons.
