Summary:

The Africa Adaptation Programme (AAP) has been designed to support the long-term efforts of targeted countries to further develop their capability to successfully identify, design and implement holistic adaptation and disaster risk reduction programmes that are aligned with national development priorities. In this regard AAP is not a traditional adaptation programme per se – but a strategic initiative, aimed at creating an environment for more informed and capable adaptation decisions and practice in each country.

The brochures below (in English, French and Japanese) provide a brief outline of the Programme, as well as a snapshot of the key priorities identified by each country under AAP

Summary:

This publication explains why a metric to measure the vulnerability and resilience of energy system to climate change is needed. The publication proposes a methodology and provides two sets of indicators: one to measure the extent of vulnerability within a particular energy system and a second to identify possible adaptation options.

These indicators are applied to ten Sub-Saharan countries. The indicator results and possible adaptation measures are outlined.
