Abstract

The paper explores how the AfricaAdapt Network and its partners develop sustainable relationships and ways of working that underpin the network, such as governance and management, staffing and planning, financial management, partnership dynamics, learning, capacity development, monitoring and evaluation. To address factors that can shape the success or failure of knowledge-sharing networks on climate change requires deepening the body of empirical evidence. AfricaAdapt’s four partner organisations are: Environment and Development in the Third World (ENDA-TM); the Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa (FARA); Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC); and the Institute of Development Studies (IDS).
