 Asian megadeltas are home to tens of millions of people. They provide food and economic security beyond this population and are biodiversity hotspots. However, they face several challenges, such as shrinking and sinking due to climate change and unsustainable development. To address these urgent concerns, CGIAR, together with relevant stakeholders, is implementing the initiative on securing the food systems of Asian megadeltas for climate and livelihood resilience, or AMD. The AMD initiative aims to create resilient, inclusive, and productive deltas which maintain socio-ecological integrity, adapt to climatic and other stressors, and support human prosperity and well-being. AMD will transform food systems toward greater climate resilience by removing systemic barriers at community, national, and regional levels to enable the scaling of existing and emerging technologies and practices. The initiative will focus on three main deltas in Asia. These are Ganges Brahmaputra Delta in Bangladesh and India, Irawati Delta in Myanmar, and Mekong River Delta in Vietnam and Cambodia. To achieve the goals of AMD, the research team will work on five focus areas, namely, adapting deltaic production systems, nutrition-sensitive deltaic agri-food systems, de-risking delta-oriented value chains, inclusive deltaic food systems governance, and evidence-based delta development planet. Focus Area 1, adapting deltaic production systems. The focus area will facilitate innovation scaling to support resilient, diversified deltaic production systems and reduce environmental footprints and climatic risks. This will be done by convening stakeholders and learning alliances, providing technical know-how on land suitability and agronomy, and enabling value chain development. Focus Area 2, nutrition-sensitive deltaic agri-food systems. Focus Area 2 will ensure that deltaic food systems sustain and enhance nutrition security equitably in a context of rapid change. The first requirement of designing appropriate nutrition-sensitive interventions is to understand the characteristics of these systems and their socially differentiated nutrition implications. Focus Area 3, de-risking delta-oriented value chains. We aim to reduce climate risks among small holders, including women and youth, and facilitate investment. And deltaic value chains through Digital Climate Advisory and Complementary Services, or DCAS. Focus Area 4, inclusive deltaic food systems governance. Through Focus Area 4, AMD will strengthen capacities of national, provincial, and local actors to plan, design, and implement more sustainable food systems. Improve inclusivity and accountability of public and private agricultural-related investments and interventions in the AMDs. Focus Area 5, evidence-based delta development planning. This focus area will improve the development of climate resilient and inclusive food systems in Asian megadeltas. Through evidence-supported policy dialogue and strategic planning and investment, critical to the work will be building strong policy-science partnerships and working with diverse actors and alignment towards common goals. Using participatory approaches, relevant stakeholders have been actively involved in the co-development process of the AMD initiative. Each Focus Area is working with other CGI initiatives and leveraging the research results from those initiatives. And in the countries, we are building effective partnerships on two fronts. A, for research, and on the other hand, we're working with scaling partners, national partners and international development partners, and with their programs, because we cannot have impact alone. We need to work with partners who have the means to scale our research outputs effectively. Through AMD, climate-smart agricultural practices and nutrition-sensitive interventions will help boost farm incomes, sustainability and employment. It will contribute to poverty reduction in the region, where about 36% of the population is poor. AMD will provide science-based evidence and data that will support policies and investments. Crucial issues such as equity, diverse and nutritious diet, migration of people and youth in the Delta food systems will also be tackled in the AMD. With the support of all the stakeholders, AMD's holistic food system and people-centered approach will help build resilience and climate change in the Delta.
