dc.description.abstractThe paper reviews country-level and multi-country projects supported by international agencies, examining the priorities and goals in national adaptation and sectorial planning documents. The analysis compares adaptation needs with current trends in national, regional and global projects and collaborations. The paper focuses on addressing research gaps, specifically looking at international support for adaptation actions in semi-arid regions, and reflecting on the vulnerability of these countries to the impacts of climate change. Outcomes indicate that global, regional and national initiatives are distributed unequally and that countries in Central and West Africa and Central Asia currently exhibit low participation, especially in national projects.en
