3. Climate change is dramatically increasing vulnerability, especially for rural smallholderfarmers 11 . Erratic and unseasonal rainfall makes it increasingly difficult for farmers tomanage risk 12 . Christian Aid is providing access for vulnerable communities across theworld to scientific climate data, especially through mobile technologies, in order toincrease their knowledge of climate risks.Key Challenges1. To articulate clearly how to accurately and comparably measure change in resilientlivelihoods.2. There is a challenge in the Participatory Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment(PVCA) process in that communities develop quite a range of issues and ideas that arenot always possible to support, and as such the relatively more straightforward issuesare taken up first. Adequately addressing the underlying issues perpetuating povertytakes time.3. In some regions, particularly in Africa, it is difficult to encourage communities to engagewith national policy leaders while the implementation of policy change is also slow.Additionally, there are challenges in addressing traditional practices in droughtmanagement and to change farming practices to reduce community conflicts.2.5 Logframei.
