Launching the ADSWAC Climate Resilient and Community Action project

15-03-2022

We are excited to announce the launch of a new regional climate resilient project, today 15 March 2022. The project is going to benefit the transboundary regions along the border corridor of northern Namibia and southern Angola.

Adaptation in Drought-Struck South-Western African Communities (ADSWAC) project is a 5-year climate change initiative funded by Adaptation Fund. Sahara and Sahel Observatory Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) is the lead implementer with ADPP Angola and DAPP Namibia as local partners in building sustainable livelihoods among local communities in the two countries.

The ADSWAC project aims to enhance the adaptive capacity and resilience of communities to climate change impact, especially drought. The project will work with 160 local Producer Organizations and 160 Water User Associations in Angolan-Namibian border communities. Okavango River communities in Northern Namibia and Southern Angola will be supported to develop and implement Community Adaptation Action Plans, ultimately reaching 140,000 people.
