A stocktake of Niger's climate-related priorities
The Climate Resilient Infrastructure Development Facility (CRIDF) is a DFID/FCDO water infrastructure programme for southern Africa, which commenced in 2013 and is currently scheduled to run until 2023. CRIDF works across 12 SADC countries on a variety of projects under the categories of ‘livelihood interventions’, ‘border towns and transport corridors’, ‘flood forecasting and early warning’, ‘accessing agriculture value chains’, and ‘enhanced adaptation through monitoring’. The programme supports pilot/demonstration projects focusing on small-scale water infrastructure with a pro-poor focus, and provides technical assistance for larger projects, working with a range of stakeholders but with a key focus on river basin organisations (RBOs) and transboundary water management. This report was commissioned by DFID Africa, through the Climate Mainstreaming Facility, to distill learning from CRIDF around resilience and adaptation programming, the use and communication of climate information, and the impact of resilient infrastructure initiatives.
