These brief project profiles provide insights into the kinds of challenges Africans face in adapting to climate change, and the strategies they are testing with research supported by the CCAA program.

The profiles are based on interviews with CCAA staff and research team members, local officials, and community members involved in or affected by the research.

Each file is available in PDF format. Print copies may be requested by email at: ccaa@idrc.ca.
