Africa at meso-scale: Adaptive and integrated tools and strategies on natural resources management

AFROMAISON aims to propose concrete strategies for integrated natural resources management in Africa in order to adapt to the consequences of climate change.

Africa appears to be very vulnerable to climate change. This can lead to both bigger water shortages and higher damages due to natural disasters. It is expected that climate change will outpace the large efforts currently made to eradicate poverty. AFROMAISON will propose sustainable solutions for communities and authorities in their operational management and strategic policy of natural (water) resources, and help them in their fight against climate change.

AFROMAISON is funded by the 7th Framework Program of the European Union. It has a budget of 4 million euro and a runtime of 3 years (March 2011-2014).
