PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
The East African Community (EAC) is an association of eight states established to promote regional economic integration. The region is particularly affected by climate change. Its citizens, especially smallholder rural farmers, are already clearly feeling the effects of rising temperatures and more frequent extreme weather events such as droughts. The EAC states have therefore prioritized cross-border cooperation on nature-based solutions: they want to restore and protect ecosystems such as forests and river ecosystems for climate protection.
The EAC Secretariat is tasked with coordinating regional climate change policy. It has, among other things, established organizations in the river basins of Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika to promote climate-adapted development: the Lake Victoria Basin Commission (LVBC) and the Lake Tanganyika Authority (LTA).
With the support of the Secretariat, all EAC partner states are also negotiating the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. In doing so, they aim to jointly shape international agreements on climate protection and benefit from climate finance.

The EAC and its institutions are supported in financing and implementing nature-based and climate-adapted approaches in East Africa.
Approach
