Information on other events are available on the CARIAA website. CARIAA is funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID). The program aims to build the resilience of vulnerable populations and their livelihoods in three climate change hot spots in Africa and Asia.French version available in IDRC Digital Library: Lancement de l'IRCAAA en Afrique : rapport de l'événementThe launch event enabled 60 stakeholders from a wide array of organizations to learn about the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA), and to begin dialogues with consortia members on key topics relevant to the research, while discussing avenues for collaboration in the future. Disaggregating vulnerability will be a key part of ensuring that consortia’s research benefits those most in need. This requires unpacking layers of contributing factors, like poverty and gender. Similar research is needed into the drivers and impacts of migration. Other aspects of collaboration across complex problems were approached, towards moving research into action.application/pdfenKENYACLIMATE CHANGE ADAPTATIONGLOBAL SOUTHRESEARCH NETWORKSSEMIARID ZONEGEOPOLITICSFOOD SECURITYRESEARCH PARTNERSHIPSFOOD SECURITYPolicy Brief
