70% (livestock), and 90% (wildlife). Smallholders with limited resources
endowments have adopted climate-smart agriculture technologies, which are

households in Kalii watershed. Primary and secondary data were collected in
March 2015. Data-analyses encompassed regressions, descriptive statistics and
