One UN
As a joint initiative of UNEP and UNDP, funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs CC DARE aims to become a practical example of UN cooperation on a critical development issue and provide direct evidence of UN reform under the One UN banner.

Promoting Adaptation and Reducing
Vulnerability in Sub-Saharan Africa

The exposure and vulnerability of the sub-Saharan region to the projected climate change impacts is unparalleled. A key challenge for adaptation is to build the technical, analytical, and institutional capacity needed for integrating climate change risks and opportunities into national development planning and decision-making.

To address this challenge the joint UNEP-UNDP programme CC DARE, provides demand-driven, flexible and rapid financial and technical support to 15 Sub-Saharan countries. The support is made available to improve the ability of sub-Saharan African countries to remove barriers and create opportunities for integrating climate change adaptation into national development planning and decision-making frameworks. The programme is designed to complement and strengthen ongoing and planned nationally based climate change adaptation and risk management in the region.

CC DARE was officially launched in February 2008. Uganda, Senegal and Tanzania participated in the pilot phase. The CC DARE programme has since expanded to other countries in sub-Saharan Africa: CC DARE projects in Benin are in an advanced stage of implementation while Ghana, Mozambique, Seychelles, Rwanda, Togo, Malawi and Ethiopia have  initiated CC DARE project implementation. In addition to the country activities and technical support provided, regional training courses on a number of key adaptation topics will take place under the CC DARE programme.
