CSA Prioritization Framework

The prioritization framework uses a four phase approach to guide stakeholders through the process of filtering and prioritizing applicable CSA practices.
Risk Explicit Investment

By using Bayesian Networks, insights can be provided into profitability and risks scenarios (such as weather events and political crises) of CSA investment options.
Evidence for Resilient Agriculture

ERA facilitates the meta-analysis of empirical evidence published in peer-reviewed literature on the impact of agricultural interventions on productivity, resilience and mitigation.

The World Bank, along with the NDC (Nationally Determined Contributions) Support Facility, has helped Morocco, Cote d’ Ivoire, and Mali develop climate-smart agriculture investment plans to scale up adaptation actions in their agriculture sectors; this was done under the Adaptation of African Agriculture (AAA) Initiative endorsed by 23 countries and the African Union. P4S supported the validation of the national investment plans of Mali and Côté d'Ivoire.

Key Activities:	Develop a probabilistic cost-benefit model that incorporates the costs and social and environmental risks of implementation of CSA options.
Key Results / Outputs:	CSA Investment Plans developed for Mali and Côté d'Ivoire
Key Outcomes:	Validated CSA Investment Plan for Côté d'Ivoire and Mali, which enabled the World Bank to use the approach and replicate in two additional countries.
