Welcome to ACPC website, a forward-looking policy think tank established by ECA in the framework of ClimDev/Africa to address the impact of climate change by assisting our member States to mainstream climate change into their development strategies and programmes. By establishing ACPC, we had one main goal in mind: build a centre of excellence that contributes to poverty reduction in Africa through policy formulation and analytical studies on adaptation to, and mitigation of climate change impacts on Africa. Through this website, we hope to share useful knowledge, thereby narrowing the gap between research, policy and practice on climate change in Africa and, by so doing, get African negotiators better prepared for the tasks ahead.
I know you will find it useful.
