  5. Taking Vulnerability Needs into Account • Review of official policies, data and statistics • Poverty and Gender • Interviews with key informants • Districts and Villages • Consultation workshops • Provinces and Capital • Field visits and excursions • RRA/PRA: village maps and timelines • Introduction into Agriculture CCTAM

  6. Plans for Scaling Up • Designed for piloting • Emphasis on replication and multiplication • Focus on policy development • Planned expansion into other provinces • Planned collaboration with Lao Women’s Union and Northern Research Centre • Concept note for further funds from other donors

  7. From Constraints to Recommendations • Climate Change to become an issue on macroeconomic level • Improved understanding of CCA across the agriculture sector • Applied research for agriculture adaptation • More direct access to CCA technologies • Funding sources clear and less “accidental” • Specific community funds to be made accessible
