Relevant African sectors

 * Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions (ASSAR) project combined interdisciplinary scientific research at regional and thematic levels, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement to improve understanding of the barriers and enablers to effective climate adaptation.
 * African Centre for Technology Studies (ACTS) is a pioneering development research think tank on harnessing applications of science, technology and innovation policies for sustainable development in Africa.
 * African Climate Policy Centre (ACCP) goal is to contribute to poverty reduction through successful mitigation and adaptation to climate change in Africa and to improve the capacity of African countries to participate effectively in multilateral climate negotiations.
 * African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis 2050 (AMMA-2050) aim to address the challenges of understanding how the monsoon will change in future decades, to 2050, and how this information can be most effectively used to support climate-compatible development in the region.


 * Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) builds resilience by supporting collaborative research on climate change adaptation to inform adaptation policy and practice. The four consortium  are ASSAR,  DECCMA, PRISE and HI-AWARE.
 * Covenant of Mayors Office for Sub-Saharan Africa (CoMO SSA) initiative supports Sub-Saharan cities in their fight against climate change and in their efforts in ensuring access to clean energy.
 * Deltas, Vulnerability and Climate Change: Migration and Adaptation (DECCMA) aims are to evaluate the effectiveness of adaptation options including migration in deltas in Africa and Asia, and to deliver policy support for sustainable, gender-sensitive adaptation.
 * Desert Research Foundation of Namibia (DRFN) was established to support research and to address sustainable development throughout arid lands.
 * Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) aims to generate fundamentally new climate science focused on Africa, and to ensure that this science has an impact on human development across the continent. FCFA is implemented by five international research teams working across the African continent: AMMA-2050, FRACTAL, IMPALA , HyCRISTAL , and UMFULA.
 * Improving Model Processes for African cLimAte (IMPALA) project has developed a very high-resolution pan-African climate model that better captures key processes and local-scale weather phenomena including extremes, and provides new understanding of the roles played by these processes in African climate variability and change.
 * Integrating Hydro-Climate Science into Policy Decisions for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure and Livelihoods in East Africa (HyCRISTAL) was aimed to tackle uncertainties that exist around climate change projections for the region, concentrating in particular on what they mean for the availability and management of water.
 * Pan African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA) is a continental coalition of Civil Society Organizations whose goal is to mobilize and empower African civil society to ensure realization of environmental and climate justice for all people in Africa.
 * Pathways to Resilience In Semi-Arid Economies (PRISE) aims to generates new knowledge about how economic development in semi-arid regions can be made more equitable and resilient to climate change, in order to deepen decision-makers’understanding of the threats and opportunities that semi-arid economies face in relation to climate change.
 * Southern African Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adaptive Land Management (SASSCAL) initiative aims to put possible solutions to the many challenges of global change to develop and produce scientifically sound findings and sustainable socio-economic benefits for the entire Southern Africa region.
 * Uncertainty reduction in Models For Understanding deveLopment Applications (UMFULA) research project that aims to improve climate information for decision-making in central and southern Africa, with a particular focus on Tanzania and Malawi.
 * West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASSCAL) is a research-focused Climate Service Centre designed to help tackle this challenge and thereby enhance the resilience of human and environmental systems to climate change and increased variability in West Africa.

Climate and Development Knowledge Network (CDKN) aim to help decision-makers in developing countries design and deliver climate compatible development.

Global
The National Adaptation Plan Global Network coordinates climate-resilient global development, enhancing bilateral support for adaptation plans and action. Its secretariat is hosted by the International Institute for Sustainable Development.

The Adaptation Fund finances projects and programmes that help vulnerable communities in developing countries adapt to the negative effects of climate change.Helping developing countries build resilience and adapt to climate change.


 * University Network for Climate and Ecosystems Change Adaptation Research (UN-CECAR) is a network of universities and research institutes in the Asia-Pacific and Africa who develop and launch research and education programmes in climate change, ecosystems change and adaptation.
