to support countries transitioning to Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) by using sound economic and policy analysis. It is a programme of work started in 2012 aimed at identifying and implementing climate-smart agricultural policies, analyzing impacts, effects,
costs and benefits as well as incentives and barriers to the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices. The ultimate objective of the programme is to support developing and in-transition countries to formulate agricultural investment proposals to increase
resilience to climate change and promote CSA.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt; line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"; color:black">EPIC is working in Malawi, Viet Nam and Zambia to secure the necessary policy, technical and financial conditions
that enable them to sustainably increase agricultural productivity and incomes, build resilience and the capacity of agricultural and food systems to adapt to climate change, and seek opportunities to reduce and remove GHGs to meet their national food security
and development goals.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt; line-height:13.5pt"><span style="font-size:11.5pt; font-family:"Cambria","serif"; color:black">In 2013 the programme carried out, in collaboration with CCAFS, a series of participatory scenario building workshops
in each of the three countries. The workshops, which were attended by more than one hundred practitioners, academics and policy makers, looked at the relationships between climate change and food security and identified some of the most pressing drivers that
will likely affect food security in the next 30 years (see reports on <a href="http://www.fao.org/docrep/019/i3565e/i3565e.pdf" target="_blank">
<span style="color:#C8252C; text-decoration:none">Zambia</span></a> and <a href="http://www.fao.org/docrep/019/i3566e/i3566e.pdf" target="_blank">
<span style="color:#C8252C; text-decoration:none">Malawi</span></a>). A follow-up series of scenario workshops is being planned to take place in May 2014 to validate earlier formulated scenarios and their quantification as well as to stress-test investment
proposals drafted. The scenarios have been developed to explore diverse futures for Malawi, Zambia and Vietnam, each of which poses different challenges and opportunities for development and agricultural policies. Therefore, the scenarios are a tool to help
think of the implications of policies and investments and improve strategic planning through the questions they can be used to ask.</span></p>
