<p>This report summarises five and a half years of ALP’s work in Community Based Adaptation practice, learning and advocacy in Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique and Niger and outreach across Africa. It demonstrates the programme outcomes and how they have contributed to increasing the capacity of vulnerable households in sub-Saharan Africa to adapt to climate variability and change.</p>
<p>The impacts and examples given from the four ALP countries are drawn from the 2015 <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/493532/CARE-adaptation-learning-programme-final-report.pdf">Final Evaluation</a> report and from learning among the ALP teams. The report reflects on the importance of learning, collaborative relationships and policy influence in the adoption and up-scaling of CBA in ALP countries and across Africa, and looks ahead at the future for CBA as a critical component of adaptation and resilient development.</p>
<p>With continued funding until 2017, ALP is in a position to build on the CBA approaches, evidence and learning to date in the context of new developments in adaptation finance, climate information services, climate smart agriculture and drought resilience.</p>
