Conservation Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa” - PTA/ECD



The ‘’Just Released” toolkit on *“Designing and Implementing Conservation
Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa”* explores the challenges of promoting
and adopting conservation agriculture (CA) in Africa. It highlights where
there have been successes and analyses the factors underpinning adoption
and “dis-adoption”. It also examines how controversy and opposing positions
have complicated the debate about how best to promote CA. While it
acknowledges the potential of “full-package” CA, it argues for a systems
approach and shows how even “partial” CA can lead to productivity and
environmental benefits. Most importantly, the toolkit balances the evidence
from the field and sets out practical steps to introduce and sustain CA in
IFAD investment projects within sub-Saharan Africa.



The toolkit consists of:

•   Teaser that introduces and defines CA in the context of sub-Saharan
Africa. [English]
<https://www.ifad.org/documents/10180/8ded6d87-615c-46d8-8dba-8f4cae486503>

•   How To Do Note framed around a step-by-step progression from planning
to field implementation. These are guidelines to shaping and developing a
CA component within a project framework. [English]
<https://www.ifad.org/documents/10180/d9b6c0af-9a1b-4428-8cf9-cd54876e0fe4>

•   Lessons Learned explores what has been experienced in Africa, taking
specific countries where CA has been tried and tested. [English]
