CTCN publications

This guide aims to help address this challenge by providing the missing identification and evaluation assistance that those looking for adaptation solutions initially face. More specifically, it focuses on adaptation technologies for building resilience to climate change induced hazards in the water sector.

The main purpose of this report is to provide insight into the actions and benefits carried out as a result of the CTCN Technical Assistance.

The Government of the Republic of Namibia (GRN) via the Ministry of Environment and Tourism, through its National Designated Entity (NDE), requested technical assistance from the Climate Technology Centre & Network (CTCN).

The pre-feasibility study considers identifying the contextual features that allow use or limit the viability  of  selected  technologies  in  areas  (counties)  with  less  developed  infrastructure  within the  wider  view  of  sustainable  water  supply.  This  includes people's attitudes  and  preferences, institutional  and  financial  opportunities  and  barriers,  as  well  as  relevance  of  technologies  in enhancing sustainable water supply.

Water services in Kenya are often inadequate, unsafe and unsustainable. The arid and semi-arid and  poor  peri-urban  areas  are  mostly  vulnerable  and  are  largely  characterized  by  low  water services  provision  and  severe  water  scarcity,  where  the demand  substantially  surpasses  its availability. Additionally, climate change is expected to significantly impact on water availability and  therefore  creating  the  needs  of  climate  proof  investments  for  improved  water  access  in underserved areas in Kenya.
