ClimDev-Africa Programme Planning Workshop
Nairobi, Kenya, 30 July 2025 - The Climate for Development in Africa (ClimDev-Africa) programme has served as a key continental platform for addressing climate change challenges since its establishment in 2011. Jointly implemented by the African Union Commission (AUC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), and the African Development Bank (AfDB), the programme has made significant strides in strengthening climate information services, early warning systems, and policy integration across Africa. As Phase I of the programme concludes, valuable lessons have emerged regarding its achievements and areas needing improvement. The transition to Phase II presents an opportunity to build on these foundations while adapting to the evolving climate finance landscape and Africa's growing climate resilience needs.
This planning workshop comes at a key moment, following the launch of Phase II in September 2023 during the first African Climate Summit in Nairobi, Kenya, and ahead of significant continental climate events, including the 2nd Africa Climate Summit (ACS-II) and COP30. The three-day gathering in Nairobi will convene the programme's core partners, technical experts, and stakeholders to collectively shape the strategic direction of ClimDev-Africa for the upcoming years. The workshop aims to ensure Phase II delivers a greater impact through more effective governance, enhanced resource mobilization, and stronger alignment with Africa's climate priorities.
