 Monika Dos Santos Mar 6, 2016 10:06  | Dear Martin Thank you for submitting to the Adaptation contest - I think the idea of bamboo plantations/production is particularly sustainable. If you could expand on a pilot project budget that could help in the assessment of viability.
best wishes, Monika |
 Martin Kailie Mar 19, 2016 07:15  | Proposal contributor Dear Monika, Thanks so much for your comment. I will post the pilot budget. Regards, Martin |
 Rita Marteleira Mar 28, 2016 08:48 | Dear Martin, your proposal seems really interesting. I would just suggest that you could give a scale to the project: how many farmers would it help? 10? 100? Keep up the good work Rita |
 Natalie Unterstell Apr 3, 2016 10:58  | Thank you for your proposal. Has bamboo been tested in Sierra Leone? Are there references on how bamboo resist to a warmer climate/less predictable rainfall? Best |
Martin Kailie Apr 8, 2016 09:18 | Proposal contributor Bamboo grows wild in Sierra Leone. Experts say bamboo has many species and al of which can grow in the tropics. Yes, bamboo already grows in Sierra Leone, but it is not recognized as a climate resilient crop. Thanks, Martin |

 Laurie Ashley May 5, 2016 07:31 | I really like the entrepreneurial aspect of this adaptation effort. It serves to diversify incomes to increase local resilience in addition to creating a more sustainable fuel source. |
Rita Marteleira May 17, 2016 02:11 | Dear proposal author(s) Thank you again for submitting your proposal to the adaptation contest. Just a friendly reminder: you only have 6 days left to update and improve your proposal before the contest closure on May 23rd! Keep up the good work and let us know if you have any queries! Best wishes, Rita Marteleira Adaptation Contest Fellow |
 Patrick Ray May 23, 2016 10:37 | Martin, Last day to refine the proposal. Looking forward to seeing the final version. Is this a Sierre Leone specific proposal, or would the bamboo technologies apply in other bamboo-producing regions? Can you help to quantify the climate-resilience of bamboo? Why is it a particularly climate-resilient crop? Good luck. |
 Sergio Pena May 23, 2016 09:02 | Dear Martin, your idea is innovative but you have to consider the possibility of problems with the bamboo itself in case the bamboo would not be enough for the aim pursue. As well, would be interesting to know about a case study you could include in your proposal and possible proposal on legal rules related to the promotion of this solution. The problem of your proposal seems to be quiet broad considering the need of specific places to be included in the proposal if you can explain the parts of rivers, lakes and other watercourses to be considered as possible case studies would be interesting. Cheers. |
