About the CCDA: The annual Climate Change and Development in Africa Conference (CCDA) is a flagship event of ClimDev-Africa. It provides a forum for stakeholders such as policy makers, climate researchers, civil society, women and youth from across the continent to engage on climate change issues. The event is held in recognition of the fact that the end users of the work and the results of ClimDev-Africa results are rural and urban communities whose livelihoods, health and security are impacted by climate change.
Since the original proposals put forward in Addis Ababa in April 2006, discussions have taken place with a variety of stakeholders around the functioning of ClimDev-Africa. In order to ensure that linkages with all relevant stakeholders are maintained, the annual conference takes place to:
- Act as a forum for consultations around the operation of ClimDev-Africa;
- Provide opportunities to exchange information and learning in relation to the operation of ClimDev-Africa and similar or related activities;
- Build coherence of ClimDev-Africa with other activities; and,
- Enable stakeholders to make representations to the CDSC as required.
Participants from the following broad categories are invited to the Conference:
- National public/state/governmental institutions from across Africa;
- RECs, RBOs and Regional Climate Institutions;
- Civil Society Organisations and Non-governmental Organisations from across Africa;
- Bilateral donors;
- Multilateral organisations;
- International NGOs;
- Private sector organisations;
- Researchers and technical experts;
- Farmer, herder and fisherfolk representatives; and,
- Any others they see fit.
