— DUE TO THE CYLCONE IDAI THE DIALOGUE PLATFORM HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO SEPTEMBER —

As part of the German Federal Foreign Office’s Action Plan for the Humanitarian Adaptation to Climate Change, the objective of this Regional Dialogue Platform is to gather managers, experts and practitioners to exchange knowledge, experience and ideas in science, policy and practice that are essential to the advancement of early warning early action through Forecast-based Financing (FbF) in the Africa region. Since the first Dialogue Platform in 2015, a fast-growing number of FbF projects are currently being implemented worldwide, its methodology further developed, an extensive network of partnership forged and lessons learned collected. With this growing numbers of stakeholders involved, it is crucial to not only hold discussions on a global level, but to encourage cooperation and exchange on a regional level. This 2nd Africa Regional Dialogue Platform thus aims to further enhance the understanding of the FbF concept on a regional level, explore possible funding mechanism as well as discuss the methodology to implement the approach.

The invitation with agenda and logistical details will be send out by in the first half of February.
