With US$300 million in contributions, ASAP1 helped eight million vulnerable small-scale farmers in 43 countries cope with the impacts of climate change and build more resilient livelihoods.

It brought 1 million hectares of land under climate resilient practices and mitigated 60 million tons of carbon dioxide—that’s roughly the equivalent annual emissions of about 2,100 commercial airliners. It did so through:

• Policy engagement: helping agricultural institutions achieve climate change commitments and adaptation priorities.
• Climate risk assessment: facilitating the use of climate risk information when planning investments to increase resilience.
• Women’s empowerment: increasing women’s participation in adaptation activities.
• Private-sector engagement: strengthening private sector and farmer organizations’ participation in adaptation and mitigation activities.
• Natural resource management: strengthening the participation of small-scale farmers in decision-making and improving technologies for managing natural resources.
• Knowledge management: disseminating knowledge on climate-resilient agriculture.
