• W3154557260 abstract "Participatory integrated Climate Services for Agriculture (PICSA) is being implemented inmultiple districts across Rwanda as part of the Rwanda Climate Services for Agricultureproject. This report presents findings from the evaluation of PICSA implementation acrossten districts in the third year of the project. PICSA training of Farmer Promoters took place inlate 2017 ahead of implementation with farmer groups.This document reports on a quantitative survey of 502 randomly selected trained farmers.The quantitative evaluation took place in May 2018 after the season had finished andrespondents had been able to harvest.Results from the quantitative survey show that most of the farmers were trained on thePICSA elements that are implemented ‘long before the season’. In addition, almost allrespondents were trained in the seasonal forecast and two thirds received short termforecasts during the season.98% of farmers had made changes in their farming or other livelihood activities as a result ofPICSA training. More farmers made changes in crops (96% of respondents) than livestock(29%) and other livelihoods (6%). Men made an average of 2.4 changes per farmer andwomen 2.1.The most popular types of changes made in crops were changing the management of land(50%), changing the amount and / or type of inputs used (35%); changing planting date(27%); growing a new variety of a crop they already grow (25%); and growing a new crop(20%). The most popular change in livestock enterprises were starting a new enterprise(15%), followed by changing the management of a livestock enterprise (11%) and increasingthe scale of a livestock enterprise (6%). Regarding other livelihoods 4% of respondents hadstarted a new enterprise, 1% had increased scale and 1% had changed management oflivelihood enterprises.Regarding the effects of the changes farmers had made as a result of the PICSA training, 92%of farmers reported that the decisions they had taken had improved their household food iisecurity. 86% reported that they had improved household income, 81% that they had beenbetter able to provide for family healthcare and 74% that they had found it easier to paytheir children’s school fees. Respondents reported that as a result of the PICSA training andthe effects of the changes they had made that they are more confident in planning anddecision making (93%), better able to cope with bad years caused by the weather (76%) andhad improved their social standing within their households (92%) and within their widercommunity (91%).PICSA is an integrated approach that enables individual farmers and households to studytheir own resources and farming systems, the climatology of their area, identify, evaluateand plan appropriate options to cope with and adapt to climate variability and change. Theresults of this study show that this integrated approach has continued to stimulateinnovation and change in farming communities as it has been scaled across Rwanda." @default.
