Report: “An Introduction to Integrating African Indigenous & Traditional Knowledge in National Adaptation Plans, Programmes of Action, Platforms and Policies”

Nigel Crawhall, IPACC (2016)

Summary (from report): This document provides an introduction and a framework for indigenous peoples, rural communities and governments in Africa to work cooperatively in harnessing ITK to meet the challenges of climate change impacts. The materials have been developed by the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Coordinating Committee (IPACC) to assist African governments and civil society organisations, including indigenous peoples’ organisations and traditional leadership, to consider how to mobilise the rich and detailed systems of Africa knowledge to contribute to surviving climate instability and enhancing national adaptation initiatives.
