Many of the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) in Africa have yet to submit national plans for adaptation activities, and are poorly positioned to access funding for adaptation. This paper details barriers to financial support for adaptation initiatives, with recommendations for improving access to funds. Among others: improve the use of existing data and analytical tools; establish national finance coordination committees; involve adaptation practitioners in project design; mainstream adaptation into national budgets; explore links with mitigation finance and other types of finance other than grants.application/pdfenCLIMATE FINANCEADAPTATION TO CHANGEFINANCING PROGRAMMESADAPTIVE CAPACITYCLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONNORTH OF SAHARASOUTH OF SAHARAAID ADMINISTRATIONFINANCIAL AIDIDRC Final Report
