  1. RiceClima project review Climate Change Impacts, Vulnerability and Adaptation: Sustaining Rice Production in Bangladesh Dhaka, 210913 Royal Norwegian Embassy, Dhaka

  2. Goal and objectives • To assess the impacts of climate change on water resources and rice yields in the selected rice growing sub-divisions • To identify suitable adaptation measures to address the impacts of droughts and salinity on rice production. • To analyse the socio-economic vulnerability, farmers ability to adapt, and identify needs for the capacity development • To disseminate results to policy makers, farmers, scientific community through active involvement of stakeholders   (challenge – integrated/multidisciplinaryapproach)

  3. Study areas • Rajshahi Main challenges • Drought and water stress • Suitable rice cropping systems/drought tolerant rice varieties • Barisal Main challenges -Saline intrusion • Salt tolerance rice varieties • Soil /water management

  4. Main project outputs Work Component 1: Climate and Hydrology Modeling D 1.1 Future climate and hydrology scenarios and water availability D 1.2 Benchmark report from the two study areas showing the agricultural systems. D 1.3 – Crop model scenarios D 1.4 – A technical brief on model options and recommendations (shared results with stakeholders, quality control of deliverables)

  5. Main project outputs Work Component 2: Demonstration of suitable adaptation technologies 2.1 A digest of local agro-techniques practiced by farmers in the study regions and challenges • Farmers training on rice production systems conducted • Trials at Rajshahi for screening drought tolerant rice varieties • Salt tolerant rice varieties being tested at BRRI • WUE trials and results shared • Pest and disease risk management

  6. Planned/actual tasks and outputs Work component 3 – Socio-economic vulnerability and adaptive capacity D 3.1 Two socio-economic vulnerability reports drafted D 3.2 A technical brief from the stakeholder analysis developed -18 farmers Focus Group meetings were conducted in the two project areas /FGD reports. 3.5 Stakeholder workshops and training for farmers

  7. Planned/actual tasks and outputs Work component 4: Integration, dissemination and project management • Stakeholder workshop, Jan 2013, Dhaka • Annual work plan 2013 • Dissemination of results at conferences (Spain, April 2013) • Partners meeting in May, 2013, at Bioforsk, Ås, Norway • Training workshops for farmers conducted in Rajshahi and Barisal

  8. Stakeholder interaction • To ensure that project results are more relevant and useful to end users • To provide inputs to adaptation plans for agriculture sector at different levels • To establish science-policy linkage (scientific results are taken up by policy makers) • To ensure that planned project outcomes are achieved (field visits, stakeholder workshops, FGDs, meetings with key stakeholders)

  9. Dissemination and capacity building • Transfer of knowledge between partners • Sharing of project results at local and regional workshops/meetings with government departments • Training workshops (eg., Aquacrop workshop) • Project reports, briefs, factsheets-local language • Project brochure, project website • Scientific publications/journal articles • National and regional Conference

  10. Follow up – Dec 2013-Nov 2014 • Annual progress report for 2013 • Planning for third year/Annual work plan (Dec 2013 to Nov 2014) • Planned deliverables due in final year – 2014 • Stakeholder workshop/conference -2014 • Annual workshop and meetings -2014 • Training and capacity building activities – 2014 • Risks and deviations • Budget status
