CDKN’s support strengthened the ‘community of practice’ working on community based adaptation (CBA) by facilitating their engagement with policy-makers and practitioners working on traditional adaptation practices.

In considering mitigation actions, policy makers not only need to consider the costs and benefits of embarking on a low carbon development path, they also need to consider the socio-economic implications of any action. CDKN is supporting a research project which will develop cutting edge methodologies to link sectoral and economy wide models in order to address issues critical to the development of climate-compatible policy.

With support from CDKN, The Gambia revised its medium term plan - the Programme for Accelerated Growth and Employment (PAGE) - to integrate climate change into policies and actions. This was the first step towards developing a climate change strategy for the country.

CDKN will be providing in-depth support to low carbon development in Peru (Climate-Change Plan), specifically through the Mitigation Action Plans and Scenarios (MAPS) process, which constitutes Phase 1 of the CCPlan.

The MAPS-Chile project will develop emission trajectories through research, modelling, and simulation results.

The Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) 2: Lighting Africa is a joint World Bank and International Finance Corporation programme, which works as a catalyst to make quality off-grid lighting products accessible to energy-poor households in several regions of the continent.
