Eight Lessons Learned: Inputs for policy considerations in developing resilience against climate risks for small scale farmers in semi-arid regions
How can a climate change adaptation program for small scale farmers maximize its effectiveness and impact?
This report outlines eight lessons learned which has helped Development Research Communication and Services Centre (DRCSC) design and implement an Adaptation Fund sponsored and NABARD supported climate change adaptation project in 40 villages of Purulia and Bankura districts of West Bengal in between 2015 and 2021.
The lessons, thus, have a strong evidence base, and this report offers practical solutions for climate change practitioners, policymakers, government, and private organizations who want to implement similar climate change adaptation programs in drylands, drought-prone areas, and semi-arid regions of India. The document aims to inform policy recommendations for climate change adaptation programs specifically for small and marginal farmers.
”My message to the wPOWER women entrepreneurs is…You are leading the clean energy revolution. Please don’t stop it.” expressed Colin Dreizen, Director, Clean Energy & Environment Office, USAID India at the recently concluded wPOWER Global Partnership Forum 2015.
The Global Partnership forum saw the official launch of the Resource Guide titled “wPOWER: Connecting the Dots” a knowledge product created by Re-emerging World. The resource guide outlines how wPOWER India adopts a market-based approach to help the entire clean energy value chain provide workable solutions for rural India.
Mainstream interventions have attempted to address rural access to clean energy in the past. Majority of large scale efforts have focused on generating clean energy awareness or on providing access to clean energy solutions. Women’s empowerment efforts have promoted entrepreneurship while wider development efforts have aimed to create a supportive stakeholder ecosystem. Very few initiatives on scale, have however, attempted to address all of these issues at one go. This is where, wPOWER India is unique.
The Resource Guide explains about this uniqueness and how the wPOWER initiative connects all the vital dots
Women entrepreneurship,
Clean energy awareness, last mile clean energy access
An enabling partnership ecosystem.
It aims to equip readers with an understanding of how a diverse ecosystem comprising of various stakeholders including donors, the private sector, government agencies and financial institutions can contribute towards scaling and replicating the wPOWER India model.

Women Led Climate Resilient Farming: Operationalising the Model and the Results Achieved
How do you build, enable, and sustain a climate-resilient farming model with women as the central part of it? This report exactly answers that.
Over the years, Swayam Shikshan Prayog (SSP) has evolved its sector strategy in agriculture into a model where it is designed, implemented, and led by local women transforming livelihoods, food security, and water security for small and marginal farming households. This document synthesises the learnings in operationalizing the WCRF model and captures the impacts it has delivered.
The report is aimed at introducing and sharing SSP’s operating philosophy, on the ground approach and stakeholder engagement strategy in achieving the results with key Government departments, policy making institutions, relevant private sector partners, and any organization curious about SSP’s model.
This report will help sector partners from different spheres in learning and appreciating what goes behind in developing a robust Women-led Climate Resilient Farming Model and inspire them to invest and collaborate.
