The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) is investing $3 million in the African and Latin American Resilience to Climate Change (ARCC) program to develop methodologies and technical tools to assess countries' climate vulnerability and resilience. As a consequence of Africa's high level of vulnerability and relative lack of adaptive capacity, its need for technical support and capacity building is particularly acute. ARCC provides technical, analytical, and project assistance and capacity-building in a way that improves the ability of vulnerable populations to respond to climate challenges and safeguards economic growth. USAID is investing $2.7 million in the development of a new climate change program in West Africa. This program will be based on a synthesis of vulnerability assessments and climate change research conducted in West Africa to identify areas that are particularly vulnerable to climate change and have the greatest potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from land-use change. Program activities will increase access to science and information for decision-making, improve governance surrounding climate change and land use change, and increase the resilience of targeted communities to climate change impacts
