Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Africa Adaptation Knowledge
Network (AAKNet) Information Portal. This will Make Available Research,
Experiences and Lessons Learned from Projects Across the Continent.
The Africa Adaptation Knowledge Network (AAKNet) aims to support climate change
adaptation in Africa by providing the following services:
* Aggregating knowledge in addressing pertinent climatic risks, shared
across region and across countries in addressing short, medium and long term
adaptation needs.
* Harnessing knowledge for strategic planning processes including
knowledge generated as pilots and also knowledge managed by other platforms.
* Providing tailored support in knowledge needs structured and packaged
in a useable format to serve strategic planning processes.
* Harnessing knowledge platforms in powering strategic planning of
regional frameworks like AMCEN. Building an alliance and coordination of
knowledge platforms in the continent with the common purpose of supporting
climate change response.
