Abstract
During 2014–2018, the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA) supported four transdisciplinary research consortia involving more than 40 institutions across 15 countries. Drawing on participant surveys, technical reports and focus group discussions, this paper identifies three sets of lessons.
Description
This series is based on work funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) through the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA). CARIAA aims to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods in three climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia. The program supports collaborative research to inform adaptation policy and practice.
