The 2012 RUFORUM Biennial Conference is the third in the series. The main objective of the Biennial conferences is to provide a platform for agricultural research for development stakeholders in Africa and beyond to actively exchange findings and experiences, while at the same time learning lessons towards improving performance of the agricultural sector and ultimately people’s livelihoods. The biennial conference is RUFORUM’s most comprehensive meeting for the diversity of stakeholers in agriculture. It is especially dedicated to graduate students and their supervisors, grantees in RUFORUM member universities and alumni. It is a platform for peer review, quality control, mentorship, networking and shared learning. The third Biennial Conference was attended by 657 participants. This record contains an extended abstract accepted under the theme of Cross Cutting Fields.

Abstract:
This project, carried out as a follow-up to M.Sc thesis research,
aimed at addressing issues identified as climate change priorities
was a direct result of the urgent climate change adaptation
priorities identified in Kabale district during the MSc. research.
Upon completion of the MSc. research, a Field Attachment

de maîtrise. Au terme de la recherche en maîtrise, une Bourse
du Programme d’accompagnement sur terrain (FAPA) a été

Le projet a utilisé des approches participatives pour diffuser
les stratégies et les technologies d’adaptation au changement
climatique aux agriculteurs ruraux. Ce fut l’occasion d’acquérir
une expérience de travail sur terrain au moment de la diffusion
