dc.description.abstractThe private sector plays a critical role in contributing to developing countries’ growth and development efforts and is increasingly recognised as a key actor in climate change resilience activities. This detailed paper addresses gaps in climate adaptation literature by reviewing factors required to provide an enabling environment for the private sector, with a focus on adaptation by small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the semi-arid regions (SARs) of Kenya and Senegal. The identification of misalignments within existing regulatory frameworks and policies can lead to revisions and improvements in policy making. Greater targeting of support and training services will help SMEs implement adaptation measures.en
