I n partnership with the African Development Bank, the Global Center on Adaptation (GCA) is convening the 4th Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program Partnership Forum in Nairobi, Kenya on 16th September 2024. The Forum will collectively take stock of progress made by the Program in providing climate-resilient economic development for Africa since its launch in 2021. Further, it will garner from AAAP stakeholders, current and prospective partners, on the expected outlook for a second programmatic phase. The Forum will serve as a consultation moment to glean from partners and stakeholders on emerging climate adaptation frontiers pertinent to the African continent, to strengthen the AAAP’s next phase offering. Kenya as the host country of the forum this year, will showcase specific progress across the Program’s offering drawing on progress in infrastructure resilience and in ensuring a locally led adaption approach. As global climate adaptation commitments progress, the AAAP will remain effective in strengthening resilience in Africa and in ramping up efforts to close the Adaptation financing gap. The 4th AAAP Partnership Forum will deduce progress made by the AAAP in contributing to doubling down on climate adaptation in Africa on the one hand, while informing its prospects on the other.
