KLIMPALA

About the KLIMPALA project

The KLIMPALA project has the ambition to develop a Climate Platform for Adaptation in the Agricultural sector in Africa (KLIMPALA) to empower stakeholders in the African agro-sector against climate change with tools, capacity building and coaching.  

In the project, we expand CLIMTAG, a web-based dashboard offering tailored climate information for the past and the future, to over 20 countries across the African continent and enrich it further with user-oriented functionalities. Stakeholders, including national authorities and experts, are involved throughout the project in the creation of the platform. They will be supported with a ready-to-use toolinsights in barriers for effective climate adaptation and for acquisition of International Climate Finance, and recommendations to overcome these barriers. Climate-robust initiatives for the agro-sector by local entrepreneurs are implemented in three African countries with financial and capacity building support of the project consortium.
