CARE International is supporting community based adaptation (CBA) efforts to mitigate impacts of climate change in the region, reports GhanaWeb. Romanus Gyang, Project Manager of the Adaptation Learning Programme outlined their aims during a review meeting held in Tamale. Among them is to ensure that community-based adaptation (CBA) approaches for vulnerable communities are incorporated into development policies and programmes in Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique and Niger, with plans in place to replicate across Africa.
The article further reports CARE International as working to strengthen voices of local communities and civil society organisations in decision-making on adaptation, promoting good practice models for CBA among adaptation practitioners and networks both locally and globally.
