Network description

The Africa Climate Change Resilience Alliance programme is made up of Oxfam GB, ODI, Save the Children International, Care International and World Vision International. Oxfam is the ACCRA lead internationally and in Ethiopia. ACCRA believes climate justice is possible. It seeks improved national decision-making in order to reduce vulnerability and to support communities’ agency and resilience. ACCRA has been working on climate change adaptation and resilience in Ethiopia, Uganda and Mozambique for 4 years supporting governments, civil society and the wider development community to lead, design, co-produce and deliver integrated and context-specific research, capacity building and advocacy.
