Empirical evidence has shown that farmers can adapt to climate change by using sustainable land and water management (SLWM) practices that provide local mitigation benefits, reducing or offsetting the negative effects of climate change at the level of the plot, farm, or even landscape. However, adaptation to climate change using SLWM practices in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) remains low. This study was conducted to examine the impact of government policies on adaptation to climate change.

This comparative static model estimates potential yield increases and poverty reduction effects based on user-selected yield closure gap assumptions. A poverty-productivity elasticity (extracted from the relevant literature) and crop-specific adjustments are used to link productivity gains to a lowering of poverty prevalence rates and poverty headcounts compounded over a 20 year period.
