Major issues beyond CBA

  affordable alternative solutions.
• To set or reinforce the Research-Action-Developmen
  t units that will develop affordable alternative
  technologies to be used at the community level to
  address adaptation issues.
• To set a capacity building mechanism of
  vulnerable communities in order to adopt the
  appropriate technologies.

Major issues beyond CBA

• To set rural community radio (vicinity) to inform
  populations on weather forecasting in order to
  allow them to adjust their cropping calendars.
• The suitability of adaptation mechanisms VS
  social and cultural threats environments.
• Willingness of communities to adopt or not
  technologies which are not productive in short
  term.
