Summary:

The CC DARE programme provides demand-driven technical and financial assistance to sub-Saharan African countries that is targeted, flexible and rapid. The assistance is made available to improve the ability of sub-Saharan African countries to remove barriers and create opportunities for integrating climate change adaptation into national development planning and decision-making frameworks. The programme is designed to complement and strengthen ongoing and planned nationally based climate change adaptation and risk management. Emphasis is on small-scale, short-term (3-6 months) activities, and national institutions, NGOs, experts, and the private sector are eligible for requesting support through CC DARE.
