AIACC_AF14 Project: Environmental Strategies for Increasing Human Resilience in Sudan: Lessons for Climate Change Adaptation in Northern and Eastern Africa AIACC Regional workshop, Open Meeting South Africa, March2003 Overview AIACC AF14 Project Background Project progress to date Stakeholders engagement Link to national communication (NC) AF14 Background: Partners and Goal A joint project between the HCENR of Sudan and Stockholm Environment Institute-Boston Center (SEI_B) Project Goal: To contribute to efforts to build the resilience of vulnerable communities to climate change. Actually started May 2002 and expected to be completed by mid. 2004 AF14 Background: Major Objectives Strengthen capacity of national actors in Sudan (and surrounding countries) to respond to climate change Provide decision makers with most current information on SL/NRM strategies that can increase the resilience of vulnerable communities. Share lessons for promoting climate change adaptation with the research, planning, policymaking, communities etc. Enhance and expand regional collaboration in the areas of SL, NRM, disaster mitigation and climate change adaptation Contribute to adaptation planning under the UNFCCC AF14 Background: Project Approach General steps: Identify and confirm “successful” SL/NRM experiences. Explore the nature of this success, using indicators to determine the way in which the community is resilient. Ask “Why?” – what factors/conditions made it possible for strategies to be implemented, to take hold and to persist (lasting effect). Distill (and communicate) lessons on how to build community resilience to climate impact. AF14 Background: Expected Outputs Series of 3-4 case studies reports Series of three project synthesis reports Peer reviewed publication of one or more synthesis documents Series of four training modules Three regional training workshops Dedicated web page The beginnings of regional network AF14 Background: Expected Outcomes Enable national and regional planning processes to effectively consider the most vulnerable groups; articulate unique local vulnerabilities Identify locally-relevant resilience-building options Build understanding of micro-and macro-level enabling conditions for adaptation Build local adaptation awareness and engage GOS, NGOs and other potential adaptation project implementers AF14 Progress: Phases Scoping (completed) Preparation (near completion) Case studies research (started; to be completed mid-2003) Synthesis and publication (late 2003) Dissemination and Communication (first half of 2004) AF14 Progress: Scoping phase Internal scoping reports prepared for identification and selection of the TF members, CSRs and case studies (CS) TF members, CSRs identified, contacted and contracted Intensive literature review conducted for research methodologies, historical climate data, SL & NRM strategies and potential CSs Methodology framework prepared and presented for discussion in Trieste workshop First TF meeting conducted during scoping AF14 Progress: Preparation phase Background paper prepared on climate data for Sahelian Africa 10 potential CSs identified summarized and circulated for review selection by TF & CSRs Detailed Methodology and TORs documents prepared and reviewed by TF, CSRs (at least twice) and also by others Two meetings conducted with the TF and CSRs to discuss the Methodology and TORs, and review potential CSs AF14 Progress: Research phase Examples of assessment indicators prepared and discussed with TF and CSRs Pilot case study agreed and identified (main purpose to test methodology and TORs, and to identify, test and finally select indicators for resilience assessment) Initial visit to the pilot case study site conducted AF14: Stakeholders engagement 1 Project development phase: the project introduced to Ministries of International Cooperation, Environment and to UNDP Scoping phase: project introduced to number of organizations (local & international) involved in NRM, SL application, relief and disaster management, most of them contributed in the data collection task Preparation phase: the TF consists of members who represent local, regional and international organizations. CSRs represent 6 different organizations (government, research, universities, NGOs and private) and at least two generations AF14: Stakeholders engagement 2 Research phase: various stakeholders at the case study sites are expected (planned) to be involved (Method. & TORs) these include local people groups, traditional leaders, local government, NGOs Synthesis, publication and communication phases target variety of potential users and other interested national, regional and international stakeholder groups A complementary project proposal on stakeholders involvement has been prepared and submitted to AIACC, its main objective is to inform guide and enhance planning and decisionmaking to better respond to the needs of vulnerable communities AF14:Link to National Communications AF14 is hosted and administered by the HCENR the Sudan’s focal point for UNFCCC and IPCC and responsible for the preparation of the NCs SEI_B provided the technical advice to HCENR in the preparation of the first NC and other related activities AF14 PIs and advisers are the key contributors to the preparation of Sudan’s first NC and most, if not all, will participate in the preparation of the coming NC A member of Sudan’s V&A team participated in AIACC workshop on climate scenarios held in Norwich Since HCENR is responsible for preparation of NCs, NAPA and Environmental planning, it is expected that AF14 will have direct connection with all these processes
