The Adaptation Fund was established to finance concrete adaptation projects and programmes in developing countries that are parties to the Kyoto Protocol and are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.

Titre : Building Resilience to Climate Change for Semi Nomadic Agro Pastoral Communities in the Transboundary Kunene River Basin

Country : Angola and Namibia/Southern Africa

Date : 2023
Durée : 5 years

Présentation
Through a Basin-wide Disaster Risk Reduction approach, the proposed programme seeks to promote and co-develop tangible adaptation outcomes that are founded on both Indigenous Traditional Knowledge and scientific knowledge, for the nomadic agro-pastoralist groups of the Kunene river basin and their socio-economic network, thus delivering on multi-scale sustainable ecosystem-based adaptation for the resilience of the river system and its people.

Within this overarching long-term objective, four (4) key objectives (KOs) have been identified with high-level partners in 2021, through direct stakeholder engagement in 2019, see Annex 3, and through updated desktop review of existing academic and grey literature from local implementing agencies. These are led by three cross-cutting multiscale objectives (CCMOs) that underpin programme activities : * To ensure localised collaborative resource sharing and management mechanisms are in place to improve adaptation to CC events by legal and customary users * To reduce the impact of existing infrastructure and activities promoting maladaptation * To ensure that the aspirations and needs of the nomadic groups are fulfilled in balance with ecosystem requirements identified through a Disaster Risk Reduction approach for Nature-based Adaptation * To enhance the ability of the Kunene Permanent Joint Technical Committee, and the national governments, to plan for DRR and build resilience in the basin by promoting Nature-based Adaptation solutions
