Africa-focused UNU projects

The United Nations University (UNU) is currently engaged in over 50 projects focused on Africa. Please find below a list of Africa-focused UNU projects. [Stocktaking: October 2011]

  1. Climate Change, Hydro-conflicts and Human Security (CLICO)

    The project is investigating whether hydro-climatic hazards such as droughts and floods exacerbate social tensions, intra- and inter-state conflicts in the Mediterranean, Middle East and Sahel, or if they provide a catalyst for cooperation and peace.

  2. West African Science Service Center on Climate Change and Adapted Land Use (WASCAL)

    This project is a large-scale research-focused programme initiated to develop effective adaptation and mitigation measures to climate change.
