KE-NCB-90769-Grant-110179-001 African Technology Policy Studies Network The overall goal of the SCALE project is to strengthen the capacity of the extension system to use proven knowledge and technology to sustain equitable and locally led adaptation among smallholder farmers and farming communities in Nigeria and Senegal. The series of capacity strengthening and technical support interventions that are lined up in the project with strong considerations for gender equality and social inclusion components are expected to boost agricultural productivity and climate change resilience in the focus countries and West Africa as a whole. Specifically, the SCALE project aims to: a) Enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of the extension system in major agroecological zones of the focus countries by mapping and analyzing the key actors, their roles, and linkages to identify opportunities for improving efficiency, collaboration, and coordination in the extension system; b) Strengthen the extension system by understanding the needs of the key actors in the extension system and identifying areas of intervention prior to providing targeted capacity strengthening and technical support interventions to enhance their agricultural productivity and climate change resilience; c) Strengthen the extension system by reviewing and documenting proven LLA knowledge and technologies that support gender equality and social inclusion (GESI) for eventual deployment to the smallholder farming communities; d) Contribute to sustainable, equitable, and inclusive LLA among smallholder farming communities in the focus countries by strengthening the capacity of the extension system actors to co-generate, co-transfer, and utilize (research, extension, farmers) proven knowledge and technology effectively; and e) Contribute to increased agricultural productivity and climate-resilient development by enabling inclusive policies and practices, knowledge sharing, exchange, and collaborations on equitable LLA through a digital platform.
