FCFA webinar: Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development in sub-Saharan Africa

Dear Colleagues You are invited to attend a webinar entitled:

Policy Coherence for Sustainable Development in sub-Saharan Africa

Date: 04 October, 2018 Time: 09:00 EDT; 13:00 GMT; 15:00 SAST Duration: 90 minutes Register here. Overview Cross-sectoral approaches to policy development are essential to meeting the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which define the post-2015 development agenda. Coherent policy development requires strategic, logical assessment of interlinkages, trade-offs and opportunities within and across sectors and over spatial and temporal scales. However, for many countries realising policy coherence is challenging. In this webinar, we’ll share new analysis of differing degrees of policy coherence to achieve sustainable development in the water, energy and food (agriculture) sectors, including meeting the Paris Agreement on climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Findings and recommendations will be illustrated with case studies of policy coherence for Tanzania, and Malawi, and local experience from Zambia in addressing this challenge. Speakers Andy Dougill (University of Leeds) Joanna Pardoe (Grantham Research Institute) Martin Sishekanu (Ministry of National Development Planning, Zambia – Pilot Programme for Climate Readiness) Facilitator Katherine Vincent (Kulima) Host Jean-Pierre Roux (SouthSouthNorth) To register for the webinar, click here. 04 October 2018 | 09:00 EDT; 13:00 GMT; 15:00 SAST Please share this invitation with your network.
