Pilot Trainings in Gender, Media, Poverty Alleviation, Policy and Regional Planning
Submitted by Susan_Legro on Fri, 2011-12-09 15:21
Summary:
These five pilot trainings focused on presenting basic concepts of climate change adaptation to new audiences and having them apply the concepts to their sectors.
Adaptation Experience:
The write-up from the trainings summarizes the participants' experience related to climate impacts and provides their recommendations for adaptive measures.
Results and Learning:
Participants in each of the trainings rated them as very successful -- elements that were rated highly included the materials and the experience of the instructors. They also recommended that future trainings include presentations and materials in additional languages (i.e. Tajik in addition to Russian). Additional lessons learned ad good practice related to the level of the materials, women's partcipation, and location are provided in the attached summary report.
Sustainability:
These pilot trainings were intended to test concepts and audiences in preparation for the Phase II project, so the project will continue for another 5 years.
Furthermore, several participants in the gender training requested local-language materials that they could use to conduct their own trainings for women in their home districts -- the perceived level of interest and need was high, and they were willing to conduct the trainings on their own initiative.
Replication:
Additional trainings will take place under Phase II, and -- based on findings from the pilot trainings -- they will actively involve district-level participants. In addition, modules and lessons learned with be shared with other PPCR participating country projects.

Climate change adaptation is key to ensuring that the African continent saves itself from the serious effects arising from the distortion in climatic patterns.
Prof Charles Basalirwa of Makerere Universities department of Geography however says, the current flurry of organisations that have sprung up to try and address the dangers of climate change are causing more confusion than helping the situation.
