Integrating climate change in policy making and programming for sustainable development 

Changing climate and weather patterns are predicted to have severe negative impacts on food production, food security and natural resources in East Africa. Without appropriate responses climate change is likely to constrain economic development and poverty reduction efforts and exacerbate already pressing difficulties.

The course will provide participants with full understanding of climate change adaptation concepts.  They will be able to effectively and meaningfully contribute to the debate on climate change adaptation, either in the policy process and or in providing knowledge to the policy process. They will strengthen their positions in these processes on the basis of newly acquired concepts, skills and methodologies.

This course is intended for participants from Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi.
