Overview

This project is designed to support the Climate Change Adaptation in Africa (CCAA) programme through support to project grantees in Participatory Action Research (PAR). CIFOR was contracted to work with and support a team of African mentors in supporting CCAA grantees to strengthen PAR within their research programmes, to enhance project impacts and lessons learning and publication of research findings. For CIFOR, the project provides an opportunity to generate global public goods from collaborative research highlighting “what works” in supporting multi-level efforts in climate change adaptation in Africa, for more widespread dissemination and impact.
