Support for Adaptation in Africa: Role of the African Development Bank (AfDB )
The main objective of the African DevelopmentBank: is to spur sustainable development, socialprogress and poverty reduction in Africancountries (RMCs)
Climate change and variability can underminethese objectives, threatens Africa’s economicdevelopment and increase poverty. Therefore,Climate‐resilience and adaptation is key forAfrica.
Mitigation efforts should be framed within thecontext of sustainable development.
Introduction
AfDB’s Climate Change Action Plan 2011‐2015
Climate‐ Resilient Dev. & Adaptation: Increased number of climate‐proofed investments in RMCs
Enhanced capacity of RMCs to respond to CC‐related risks and vulnerabilities in different sectors.
Increased number of RMCs with developed institutional & policy framework & regulatory reforms for addressing CC
Additional finance leveraged to Africa through the Climate change Funding Platform.
AfDB’s CCAP: Key Expected Results

Climate Screening & AREP
Category 1
•Projects may be very vulnerable to climate risk
•Requires detailed evaluation of climate change risks and adaptation measures
•Comprehensive, practical risk management and adaptation measures should be integrated in project design and implementation plans
Category 2
•Projects may be vulnerable to climate risk
•Requires review of climate change risks and adaptation measures
•Practical risk management and adaptation options should be integrated into the project design and implementation plans
Category 3
•Projects are not vulnerable to climate risk
•A voluntary consideration of low cost risk management and adaptation measures is recommended but no further actions is required
Climate Safeguards System
CSS screening tool guides through questions that help determine the categorization of the project with recommendations to address any potential risks
Categorization Implications
9
To provide an effective means of tracking, assessing, correcting, and reporting on Bank programmes and projects, to ensure that CCAP results are achieved;
To assess the impact of the Bank’s efforts to promote adaptation and low‐carbon dev. and other climate related actions on development;
To provide results‐based guidance for the planning and implementation of climate change‐related operations.
• To provide clear and harmonized indicators and targetsfor the measurement of Bank’s actions and;
• To make available reliable data and related tools &methodologies.

logic model‐ The translation of Bank activities to the ultimate desired impact of the CCAP
Results Chain
Indicator Means of verificationImpact (Africa) Number of RMCs that have mainstreamed
climate change into their national development policies, plans and strategies
Development Reports; Global climate change policy tracker reports
High Level (Country level)
Number of national and/or sectoral policies, plans, strategies, laws, regulatory frameworks, programs or projects developed or adjusted to incorporate climate risks and vulnerability reduction in water resources
National Statistics
Intermediate outcome (Project‐level)
Change in water (including drinking water) supply (tons/m3) in targeted areas
Project documentation
Indicators considered are:• Easy to measure (practical, affordable and simple);• Produce results that can be directly linked to concrete Bank interventions (valid,
precise and relevant); and• Measure outputs and outcomes that are directly in‐line with the Bank’s operational
priorities as articulated in the MTS, the CRMA and the CCAPThrough piloting and testing, the identified indicators may require further refinement .

A regional initiative, by the AUC, ECA & AfDB, designed torespond to climate change & variability challenges forAfrica’s development, with focus on climate‐sensitivesectors: Agriculture and food security; water resources;energy; health.Main inputs:
Political leadership provided by the AUC, ECA‐based African Climate Policy Centre (ACPC) ClimDev‐Africa Special Fund (CDSF)
Aims at: (1)Addressing the need for improved climateinformation for Africa‐(2) Strengthening its use,communication and decision‐making (3) Increasing theresilience of Africa’s population to climate change byenabling effective adaptation activities
ClimDev Africa
Aims at pooling resources to implement projects that strengthen institutional capacities of national & sub‐regional bodies to formulate and implement effective climate‐sensitive policies:
Generation, dissemination and use of reliable and quality climate information
Quality analysis of data & information
Implementation of pilot adaptation practices to demonstrate the value of mainstreaming climate information in development planning and practices
