Adaptation Learning Programme (ALP) Care International

This document describes an evaluation of CARE International's Adaptation Learning Programme (ALP), which aims to enhance the capacity of vulnerable households in sub-Saharan Africa to adapt to climate change, with a focus on gender equality and diversity. The evaluation, conducted by the Nottawasaga Institute, used a participatory approach to assess the program's progress in Ghana, Niger, Kenya, and Mozambique. It found that the ALP had effectively engaged communities and facilitated dialogue platforms for climate resilience, though results varied across countries. Challenges were identified in documenting and evaluating community-based adaptation (CBA) models for policy advocacy, and recommendations were made to strengthen the program's framework, improve gender skills, and enhance communication strategies. The evaluation concluded that while the ALP has been robust and has influenced government policies to some extent, it needs more targeted communication, capacity building, and evidence-based advocacy to effectively address climate change. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
