230000630 Africa Adaptation Acceleration Program through Climate Action Window Africans are heavily affected by climate change. They need to adapt but finance falls short. AfDB created the Climate Action Window (CAW) as a channel to address this finance gap. Through the adaptation component of CAW, NL supports AAAP.  The overall goal of AAAP through CAW is to achieve a Climate-Smart, Resilient, Inclusive, and Integrated Africa. This is done by focusing on four pillars: 1. Food Security: climate-smart agriculture and resilient food systems. 2. Infrastructure and Nature Based Solutions: water, transport, energy, and urban systems. 3. Youth Entrepreneurship and Adaptation Jobs. 4. Adaptation Finance. The Netherlands is committed to double its adaptation finance by 2025. The support to AAAP through CAW is part of delivering on that commitment. In parallel, a grant will be awarded to the Global Centre on Adaptation (GCA), a co-creator of AAAP. GCA will provide knowledge and convening services for projects in the adaptation pipeline.
