Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Climate Change and Natural Resource Management: Community of Practice

Welcome to our online Climate Change and Natural Resources Management Community of Practice. Each CoP is managed and administered full time by the NEPAD Agency, or a partner agency, and membership is comprised of a select group of relevant experts and decision makers from governments, donors, academia and civil society.

Water

In the area of water, NPCA will seek to strengthen existing water governance institutions and to attract the private sector to water and sanitation delivery services. It will continue to promote policies and strategies for increased water storage capacities for national and regional communities as recommended in the Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostic (AICD) studies.

Energy

Concerning energy, the priority areas of focus in the period of this Business Plan will include biofuel energy; solar thermal power generation; cross border energy trade; and communication mechanisms between main energy stakeholders. In particular, NPCA will support the development and implementation of power generation utilizing natural gases and coal bed methane. It will also support geothermal power generation in East Africa. In addition, NPCA will work on the improvement of tariffs and regulations to facilitate and speed up cross border energy trade.
