This activity report describes the experiences and the preliminary results of a participatory video project for promoting community-based adaptation in rural Malawi. Through collaboration between the Red Cross and the Meteorological Services, subsistence farmers learned about climate change and how to respond to its impacts. Then they learned how to operate a video camera, develop a script and make a film showing examples of the adaptation practices they have been developing. Participatory video is a suitable tool for up-scaling successful community-based adaptive measures.
