their corresponding impacts on agricultural growth, gender
inclusiveness, and costs of climate change adaptation and
mitigation. To achieve this outcome, partnerships are to be

Impact of COVID-2019 in 2020

test

The COVID-19 pandemic situation has an impact on

communication and engagement with the key stakeholders and
organizing training and workshops of the USDA funded project in
Colombia, Kenya, and Vietnam. This delayed preparation of the
action plan for scaling research output and implementation of the
action plan in the project countries. This COVID-19 condition has
affected the execution of farmers' surveys for an impact study of
agricultural carbon credit projects in Kenya. This survey is currently
pending and may need to cancel or choose an alternative method
if the situation is not improved.
