result of the AfricaAdapt intervention is change of mind set regarding
climate change issues and enhanced confidence that we can help people
successfully adapt to climate change”.

“I have been able to get information particularly pertaining to climate change policies and
projects, and concerns from other parts of Africa from AfricaAdapt website. The knowledge has
been very instrumental to me in writing developmental papers, identifying information
gaps. I think AfricaAdapt is a very useful platform for exchange of knowledge and networking with
other like-minded people”
