  • Hi, I think that everyone can now very well do easily proposal writing.

  • Introduction
    Mitigation and adaptation are two climate change commitments of the international climate agreement to reduce the impacts of climate change on social and ecological systems.
    Mitigation is about reducing the long-term impacts of climate change through Greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission reduction or/and through their sequestration. Agriculture is one of the major driven of deforestation and forest degradation (Hosonuma et al, 2012), and accounts for about 20% of GHGs emissions in developing countries (Angelsen, 2008). Offsetting these emissions by providing payments to countries, communities and individuals for implementing forest management options that limit deforestation and forest degradation is one of the most cost-effective mitigation approaches (Angelsen, 2008, Stern, 2007). Adaptation to climate change targets the impacts of climate change by reducing vulnerability and for enchancing resilience. Changes in the earth climate system have introduced new dynamics and uncertainties on agriculture Systems, with increasing unevenness in inter- annual and seasonal climate patterns (Crane, Roncoli, & Hoogenboom, 2011). In this light, the adaptation of agricultural systems is necessary to reduce vulnerability and enhance adaptive capacities (Smit & Skinner's, 2002). The adaptation of agricultural systems to climate change is a function of the type of climatic stimuli, location, farming characteristics, political, economic and are institutional contexts in which policies designed and implemented (Bryant et al, 2000).
    In Cameroon forests cover about 17.5million hectares (37%) of the total land area, with a high concentration in the Southern part of the national territory ( World Resource Institute (WRI), 2011). The vast dense HFZ makes Cameroon an important country for Carbon emission reduction through avoided deforestation. ( Robiglio et al., 2010).). There is also a need for adaptation since direct and indirect components of agricultural systems in the forest zones of Cameroon are vulnerable and impected by climate variability (Tingem, Rivington, & Belkocchi, 2009; Yengoh, Tchuinte, Armah, & Odoi, 2010). To tackle these major challenges the Government is committed through it's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to reduce emissions by 32% by 2035 from it's projected baseline of 2010 emissions and to enhance the resilience of social and ecological systems. And agriculture is well represented in both the mitigation and adaptation commitments ( Government of Cameroon {GOC}, 2005).
    There is need for more information on interplay between climate change and the sectoral policies and processess, in terms of causes and /or drivers, impacts and response strategies.
    These strategies involve, technical, financial and managerial interventions, involving multiple stakeholders- governments private sector and farmers. The planning of this strategies need a profile of various types of activities. Such as it's feasibility, limitations, strengths and who will be involved in the facilitation, development and implementation (Bradshaw, Dolan & Smit, 2004; Smit & Skinner, 2002).
    Agriculture research depend on intensification initiatives services. The agriculture research are responsible to design, testing and facilitation of all forms of context-specific intensification techniques and propagation of innovative practices to land users ( Evenson, 2001). Which mean ways of managing forest agriculture systems are important for the short term adaptation and long term mitigation abatement of climate change

  • The proposal writing skills shared by Tom will go a long way in developing my proposal writing skills and hopefully I will make my own proposal successful using the skills learned.

  • i have learnt the intricacies involved in writing a good proposal

  • will surely apply all the knowledge gained.

  • The abstract section of a proposal is really important and how is crafted will increase the chances of winning the funding.

  • Please grade my assignment as I am in need of my certificate as soon as possible

  • Please grade my assignment as I am in need of my certificate as soon as possible

  • Having learnt the the basic and format of writing a proposal, i realised its not exactly difficult and i look forward to writing one.
