for the Cairo Center for Learning and Excellence on Adaptation and Resilience  
This grant supports the Cairo Center for Learning and Excellence on Adaptation and Resilience at American University in Cairo. Established after the U.N. Climate Convention Conference of the Parties in Sharm el-Sheikh in 2022, which increased the global focus on both climate adaptation and on the African continent, the center will address three sectors most affected by climate change: water resources, agriculture and food security, and health. It will help train and support a cadre of practitioners and leaders in Africa focused on climate adaptation and resilience. (Substrategy: Multilateral)
