Abstract
The African Union Inter-African Bureau for Animal resources (AU-IBAR) sought for a consultancy to identify
policy intervention entry points to strengthen the capacity of fisheries communities for adaptation to climate
change. The report identifies drivers of climate changes, including compiling and documenting the effects of CC on fisheries and aquaculture; assesses climate change adaptation and coping strategies, and establishes existing knowledge and perception, institutions and practices of fishing communities of relevance to climate-change preparedness.
