Target Audience

The briefings are intended for everyone in Africa who needs to know about adaptation at regional and local levels: communities, civil society organisations, government officials, researchers, decision makers and planning departments.

The series will also enable these groups to communicate with each other and share experiences – each article will have contact details for the author, and each briefing will include letters and feedback on past issues.

What will the series cover?

The series draws together a wide range of lessons, experiences, and practical information from across sub-Saharan Africa, including:

• summaries of academic research on climate change, written in a clear, easy-to-read style
• case studies of community-based knowledge and action in response to climate change
• letters and feedback from readers

Each issue will focus on a particular theme around climate change adaptation and development, and will be supported by a wide range of online materials, including videos, audio broadcasts and discussion forums.

About Joto Afrika

Joto Afrika is a series of printed briefings and online resources about adapting to climate change in sub-Saharan Africa. The series will help people understand the issues, constraints and opportunities that poor people face in adapting to climate change and escaping poverty.

The series is produced by the Arid Lands Information Network (ALIN), based in Nairobi Kenya, in partnership with the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) Knowledge Services and the Africa Adapt network.
