Abstract

In this study, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)-led intervention in the Volta basin has tested a toolkit towards the planning, monitoring and evaluation of community-based adaptation approaches and adaptive capacity. This fieldwork helps establish linkages between climate-related hazards and the livelihood resources (natural, physical, financial, human and social) in communities, making evident the necessity of strengthening these resources to improve communities capacities for adaptation to climate change. Various tools were applied in four communities in Burkina Faso and Ghana, linking their adaptive capacity to climate change with the view to inform the next phase project in documenting development processes.
