Scaling up Community based Adaptation for Livelihoods and Ecosystems in Southern Africa (CBA-SCALE Southern Africa+)
The project aims to achieve implementation of inclusive, gender-responsive & nature-sensitive Community based Adaptation actions in Southern Africa (and beyond) to increase resilience to climate change for people of all genders and social groups. The CBA approach will be implemented in more than 100 communities. Interlinkages between all levels of planning will be strengthened to ensure that community adaptation priorities are reflected in local development plans, and that they inform (sub-)national decisions, notably through NAP/NDC processes. During the preparation phase, the project will engage with the target groups, including both community beneficiaries and various policy-making stakeholders to gather insights and undertake a participatory project design. Research will be conducted to close information gaps and to deepen the collective understanding of the context. The outcomes of these efforts will be applied to collaboratively design the project framework.
