Shared Governance of Climate Change and Natural Resources Issues in East Africa

This review provides a snapshot of current governance arrangements to deal with shared climate change and natural resource management

Abstract

This review aims to provide a snapshot of current governance arrangements in the East African region to deal with shared climate change and natural resource management issues. Far from being exhaustive, this review intends to provide a brief overview of the key climate-focused institutions and arrangements for eastern Africa (and sometimes southern Africa as these regional governance arrangements can overlap), with an emphasis on institutions that formulate the regional plans and responses. National responses are also briefly touched upon for some countries and some recent regional donor programmes are explored.

K4D helpdesk reports provide summaries of current research, evidence and lessons learned. This report was commissioned by the UK Department for International Development.
