Africa Adapt Community

AfricaAdapt is an independent bilingual network (French/English) focused exclusively on Africa. The Network’s aim is to facilitate the flow of climate change adaptation knowledge for sustainable livelihoods between researchers, policy makers, civil society organisations and communities who are vulnerable to climate variability and change across the continent.

Our activities use the latest web-based applications, face-to-face interactions, and other media for: sharing resources; facilitating learning; and strengthening the African adaptation community. Our online activities are complemented by a range of offline activities and services, including:

  • An innovation fund offering small grants for new approaches to knowledge sharing
  • Radio-based programming and dialogues in local languages, developed with community radio broadcasters across the continent
  • Face-to-face meetings bringing people together to exchange ideas and overcome challenges
  • Mobile alert service letting people without easy web-access know the latest news.
  • A CD-Rom and paper-based dissemination service for network news and resource

 

AfricaAdapt est un réseau qui facilite le partage de connaissances sur l’adaptation au changement climatique en Afrique. Il vise à améliorer les conditions de subsistance des communautés les plus vulnérables en encourageant la collaboration entre les chercheurs, les décideurs politiques, la société civile et communautés locales.

 

Nous utilisons les TIC et les réunions d’échanges pour la promotion d’une culture de partage de connaissances, l’échange d’expériences et le développement d’une communauté de pratique sur l’adaptation en Afrique. En plus de nos activités en ligne, nous avons d’autres activités :

  • Un Fond d’Innovation pour la promotion d’initiatives de partage de connaissances
  • Des rencontres entre décideurs politiques, chercheurs, société civile et communautés locales
  • Des émissions radiophoniques en partenariat avec les radios communautaires dans les langues locales
  • Un service d’alertes sms sur les téléphones portables
  • Des publications papier et CD-rom
