Knowledge Management and Capacity Development
Climate change adaptation remains the highest priority for the IGAD region due to the scale of current and future vulnerabilities. Member States are doing their best to enhance the resilience of vulnerable sectors and populations. However, challenges, including limited technical and institutional capacities, top-down adaptation instead of Locally Led Adaptation (LLA), and poor coordination, among others, exist.
IGAD CAEP, in coordination with member states and partners, works to breach the region's climate adaptation knowledge and capacity gaps by capitalising on existing systems and processes from the regional level to the local community.
What We Do
- We partner with regional and international research institutions to undertake adaptation-relevant research in all member states, focusing on existing gaps, notably the relevance of indigenous knowledge, success, challenges and opportunities in Locally Led adaptation (LLA), and emerging issues, among others.
- We support member states and communities in leveraging innovation and technology to accelerate climate adaptation and resilience building in the region.
- We co-produce user-friendly climate adaptation knowledge and products for enhanced resilience.
- IGAD CAEP, in coordination with partners, undertakes capacity development training, workshops and seminars for member state institutions and communities on Adaptation Planning, Locally Led Adaptation (LLA), Early Warning and Disaster Risk Management, among others.
