Abstract: This short brief demonstrates how community based adaptation is an invaluable and essential component of the vision for resilience across Africa. The paper provides greater clarity on what Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) looks like and how it can add value to disaster risk reduction and sustainable development by drawing on the lessons learnt by Adaptation Learning Program (ALP) over the last four years across four countries and through demonstrating some practical approaches to CBA which can be adopted and scaled up.
