CLIP

• Challenges CLIP – Livestock modeling –dynamics, effects of climate change, not calibrated for Africa • Wagenigen (Katrien): – Farmsim (seaonal, not CC dynamics) – APSIM/AUSFAM/IAT • Cornell University (Alex Ruane) – (Fertilty, milk production climate stress) • APSFAM/APSIM (Patricia) – Data availability • 3 sentinel sites, different data availability • Long term data on livestock (FAOstat, global data sets) • Geographical/Biomass primary production global data sets (need for ground truthing)

• Training/capacity strengthening needs • Livestock modeling (Patricia) • DSSAT (strengthening) • TOA-MD (Lieven, strengthening) • Outputs – Review of livestock models, with regards to CC (liaise with ILRI) – Biophysical and socio-economic characteristics and bottlenecks – Management strategies and pathways for sustainable intensification • Outcomes – Information and capacity strengthening – Policy dialogue

• Interaction with stakeholders – Country specific • Malawi: SLP solutions workshops, cross project coordination, student at UCT • Zimbabwe: SLP solutions workshops, ACIAR project • South Africa: CPWF projects • Mozambique: ? – Regional policy makers (FANRPAN) to define information needs – CRP 1. 1 • Engagement with AGMIP – Workshops – SSA trainings • Question to AGMIP management – Engagement of students (tuition)?
