Programme implementation plan: knowledge generation and brokering for climate resilient development policies in Africa 2017-2021

Abstract

The African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) is a center for knowledge generation and brokering to influence, strengthen and enable the transition to climate-resilient, inclusive and sustainable development through responsive policies, plans and programs towards transformed economies, healthy ecosystems and human well-being. ACPC, as a dedicated climate center in ECA, aims to integrate climate change into the structural transformation agenda of the Commission in support of its social and economic development mandate. It has a strategic and unique position both in terms of convening power and its pool of intellectual and scientific base to support the transition of Africa’s economies towards climate-resilient development effectively. The ACPC implementation plan is a translation of its Program Strategy and its component of the ClimDev-Africa Business Plan into a program of work for the next five years. Section 2 elaborates the strategic focus and program components, while section 3 presents the human and financial resources required for implementation over the program period. The last section outlines the program performance monitoring, review and reporting mechanism. The annexes include a detailed log framework, a corresponding result based budget and timeline for the implementation period.
