Summary: The NDC Delivery Lab is an approach being used to translate policy into actionable and bankable investments that achieve implementation of climate action. The NDC Delivery Lab approach brings together a range of stakeholders to jointly identify and prioritize problems and then co-create solutions with the aid of innovations and inventions from research and innovation centres. This is translated into high-impact bankable investment plans which are implemented as projects on the ground.
Partner Organizations: Accelerating the Impact of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA), International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank, Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development (MoALD), Kenya Climate-Smart Agriculture Multi-Stakeholder Platform (CSA MSP) and Communities.

Adaptation Sector Thematic Area: Environment, Ecosystems, and Biodiversity
Summary: A large part of Ethiopia’s landscape is characterized by mountainous, undulating terrain that is highly susceptible to soil degradation and erosion. Land degradation and deforestation are caused by natural factors, such as soil and wind erosion, as well as population pressure. Soil loss in Ethiopia due to water erosion is a serious economic and environmental challenge. These factors contribute to Ethiopia’s agricultural productivity and its food security is highly compromised. Soil and water conservation has been a priority for the government for the last two decades and it was given due consideration within the first phase of the Growth and Transformation Plan.
