Climate risk management in Africa: Learning from practice

The first part of this report looks at the issues of climate risk in Africa, and particularly the need for information. This is followed by five case studies that show the importance of studying strategies for managing this risk. The examples are floods in Mozambique, food security in Ethiopia, malaria control in southern Africa, farming in Malawi and drought insurance in Malawi. The studies present the context, the climatic events themselves and the solutions implemented or envisaged in terms of actions and policies. The authors draw a series of lessons from these case studies that apply to the whole region, and guidelines addressed to national and international decision makers.
