Institutions have a crucial role in communicating climate science into meaningful forms and to develop context specific adaptation options. Led by multiple institutions, Climate Smart Village (CSV) Nepal is an organized approach designing location package of interventions response climatic other ongoing changes the agricultural system. While addressing impending risk change promoting food security objectives smallholder settings, CSV aims increase adoption Agricultural (CSA) technologies at local levels. One challenges, however, has been sustain scale CSA practices. Based on in-depth review policy documents, field observations, interviews with stakeholders involved implementation pilot programs, this study evaluates institutional framework Gandaki region, Nepal. Our analysis proposes revised conceptual model innovation system that contributes knowledge, attitude, skills for scaling appropriate case demonstrates while concern, around instrumental making farmers aware technologies. This done largely through collaboration among public, private, civil society organizations, communities. collaborative effort illustrates possibilities approaches future highlights their contribution development goals.
