The fourth international conference on Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) to Climate Change will be held in Dar es Salaam next month.
A statement issued yesterday in Dar es Salaam said the conference, to be held between February 21 and 27, would attract a total of 100 participants from across the world.
The statement said the conference was aimed at sharing latest developments in adaptation, planning and practices and disseminating knowledge among stakeholders and actors.
Among core objectives included bringing different stakeholders and practitioners to share and discuss knowledge of CBA planning and practices from different parts of the developing world, particularly Africa.
“It is also geared to capturing the latest learning from CBA planning and practices around the developing world as well as enhancing capacity of the practitioners to help the most vulnerable groups and people in improving livelihoods in developing countries,” the statement read in part.
It added that the conference also intended to create a platform for stakeholders to share lessons learnt to facilitate integration of climate change into national and international development programmes as well as disseminate lessons learnt at the conference through proceedings and immediate conference summary.
Key activities during the international meeting included field visits to community-based adaptation projects in different ecosystems and interactive discussions on different thematic areas.
