India - Andhra Pradesh Drought Adaptation Initiative : Lessons from Community-based Adaptation Approaches to Strengthen Climate Resilience

This report presents the impact and
lessons learned from the Andhra Pradesh Drought Adaptation
Initiative (APDAI). The APDAI was implemented as a package
of pilot activities in two dryland districts in Andhra
Pradesh (Anantapur and Mahbubnagar) with the aim of
developing and testing approaches for natural resource-based
economic activities to better respond to current climate
variability and long-term consequences of climate change.
The report discusses how innovations are being scaled up
through integration into regular government programs for
greater outreach.
