Participatory videos for monitoring and evaluation in community based adaptation to climate change

5th May 2011. Solidad Muñiz from Insightshare joined the KM Impact Challenge unConference virtually in a skype interview. InsightShare passed on its skills in Participatory Video and Monitoring & Evaluation to build the capacities of community members and CBO,NGO staff in South Africa, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Malawi . Community level research and pilot projects were conducted through the CLACC network and through collaboration with relevant stakeholders (such as national NGOs, Community Based Organisations and national meteorological services) To reduce vulnerability to climate change CBAA employed a 'learning-by-doing' research approach, looking at adaptation knowledge, experience and technologies generated locally. CBAA identified ways of communicating climate information to poor and vulnerable communities and then from those communities on to other stakeholders. NGO and communities' capacities to facilitate the integration of climate change into their plans and activities were built. The initiative generated information on Community Based Adaptation to Climate Change aimed at researchers, NGOs, national and international policy makers and decision makers.
