Ethiopia First Country to Benefit from Climate Fund

The African Development Bank announced on 26 August 2015 that Ethiopia is the first country to launch a project funded by the ClimDev Africa Special Fund (CDSF).  The 1 million Euro project will help Ethiopia cope with, and build resilience to, climate change by enhancing capacity in climate monitoring, data analysis, interpretation, forecasting, and dissemination for use in national decision-making.  CDSF is a joint project of the African Development Bank, African Union Commission, and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.
