The AdaptWAP project managers and partners met virtually on January 21 to discuss the WAP complex area baseline-situation report.

This analysis makes it possible to describe the complex area situation regarding climate change impact on the natural resources & the populations’ livelihoods, as well as the efforts the countries undertook to contend with this phenomenon. The analysis is highly important to assess the project-related adaptation measures implementation progress & effects.

Mrs. Khaoula JAOUI, Climate Department Coordinator & the OSS experts moderated the videoconference. Members of the UGPr & the three UGPn (Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger) and the Design Office experts in charge of developing the project's baseline situation took part in the videoconference.
