Abstract
The workshop aimed at supporting regional initiatives with regard to adaptation to climate change, as well as developing the foundations of a community of practice involving key stakeholders and Climate Change Adaptation in Africa Program (CCAA) project proponents. Difficulties in developing regional cooperation on adaptation often lie in those areas where it is most needed, such as in managing transboundary issues, and especially river basins. Sharing of knowledge and information, particularly between policymakers, is key. The second part of the workshop introduced the CCAA framework for knowledge sharing.
