Craft East-Africa Climate Smart Agriculture in East-Africa Climate Smart Agriculture-East Africa will promote inclusive business development for climate smart sustainable intensification in arable farming in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda. The programme will thereby contribute to the increased availability of domestically and regionally produced food for the growing population in East Africa. As such, CSA-EA will drive systemic change through a market-driven approach that works for the rural poor. The consortium partners will leverage and create synergies with other existing programmes and plans. Climate change in East Africa will have far-reaching consequences for agriculture, natural resources and the food security situation of the increasing number of rural and urban population. With yield drops and crop losses projected for major cash and food crops, the cost of doing nothing may be up to 20 times higher than the cost of investing in measures to adapt to climate change. This challenge demands a response that integrates enhanced food security with climate adaptation and mitigation of food crop production and supply systems, and puts greatest investment towards those interventions that lead to a market driven adoption and scaling of climate resilient agriculture through inclusive business development. CSA-EA has 3 main impact areas:
1. Increased productive capacity for 300,000 smallholder farmers; 
2. Increased business performance for 50 agribusiness SMEs and 30 cooperatives due to climate-related investments; 
3. Climate resilient sustainable food production practiced on 600,000 hectares with improved carbon, water and energy efficiencies. Agribusiness SMEs, cooperatives and small-holder farmers, governments, agricultural services providers, financial sector
