The project is designed to engage in capacity building and technology transfer around the climate change component of the Atlas, serving all SADC member
states by working through existing SADC risk and vulnerability mechanisms, targeting stakeholders
involved in early warning, as well as stakeholders involved in long-term proactive planning in risk reduction. The project team will work with selected SADC
member states, building on existing initiatives for climate change capacity building (such as those of CSAG, and the INGC Phase 2 project in Mozambique) to
add value, rather than replicate efforts.
To become involved and attend the workshops complete the online stakeholder survey questionnaire.
