and capacity building initiatives for its stakes 3) It should establish a climate resource library (soft and hard) anchored in a university to benefit knowledge- thirsty people particularly students as the future climate leaders


The Platforms should 4. assist in strategy development and collaboration approaches with government and non-government bodies 5. facilitate the approaches for integrating CSO concerns in enhancing climate resilience processes 6. facilitate the engagement of educational and cultural institutions in the dialogue on climate resilience processes,7. facilitate to develop and implement the strategic approaches, guideline and methodology for strengthening of gender considerations in climate change adaptation8. promote and interact with National and Sub-national networks that work in the climate and gender fields
