Welcome to ACCA
Evidence-based adaptation, designed with communities
At ACCA, our projects are designed to strengthen climate adaptation and resilience across Africa. We deliver innovative, evidence-based initiatives that advance climate technologies, empower communities, generate actionable research, and foster strategic partnerships at the local, national, regional, and international levels.
Through these efforts we transform climate knowledge into practical solutions that build resilient people, ecosystems and institutions — and we advocate for the policies and financing that make adaptation possible at scale.
