Why does this Franco-African commitment matter for climate adaptation?
The French Development Agency (AFD) and the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) have signed a strategic partnership and funding agreement to support African countries’ adaptation to climate change. The agreement places local knowledge at the heart of a collaboration between a funding institution and a regional organisation.
