AfriEvolve – Capacity development for green NGOs in Africa
Les ONG jouent souvent un rôle essentiel dans la société civile du monde entier. Ils travaillent à défendre les intérêts et les besoins des communautés locales et des minorités et à protéger leurs moyens de subsistance naturels. Néanmoins, les ONG locales en Afrique sont souvent confrontées à des difficultés : Les lois nationales restrictives sur les ONG entravent souvent l’action politique et la mobilisation des fonds nécessaires (phénomène de « rétrécissement des espaces »). Par conséquent, l’influence politique et une voix dans les décisions de conservation pertinentes sont entravées en raison du manque de financement à long terme pour les structures d’ONG, les réseaux stratégiques au niveau régional pour un travail de lobbying et de plaidoyer réussi afin d’orienter la mise en œuvre active des objectifs internationaux de conservation du climat et de la nature.
Pour renforcer le rôle des ONG en Afrique, la NABU et six ONG vertes d’Afrique de l’Ouest et de l’Est mettent en place des réseaux de clusters régionaux pour améliorer le développement organisationnel et le renforcement des capacités dans leurs régions opérationnelles. Les six ONG cibles travaillent au point focal entre la biodiversité et la conservation des ressources dans et autour des aires protégées et les moyens de subsistance des populations locales. En particulier, l’utilisation des terres de toutes sortes entraîne des conflits permanents entre les communautés locales et la gestion respective des aires protégées, ainsi qu’une pression croissante sur la faune, les forêts, les plans d’eau et d’autres habitats. Les effets du changement climatique – tels que les fortes pluies, le gel, les périodes de sécheresse extrême et l’érosion – exacerbent déjà les mauvaises récoltes et les mauvaises récoltes et entraînent la pauvreté et la dépendance des populations vis-à-vis des ressources naturelles de leur environnement.
Afin de réduire les impacts du changement climatique sur les moyens de subsistance locaux, la NABU et les six ONG partenaires prévoient de mettre en œuvre des méthodes d’agriculture intelligente face au climat (CSA) dans des projets pilotes au sein des pays partenaires africains.

BirdLife International is a global partnership of 121 national conservation organisations (NGOs) that strives to conserve birds, their habitats and global biodiversity, working with people towards sustainability in the use of natural resources. Each BirdLife Partner is an independent environmental or wildlife not-for-profit, non-governmental organisation (NGO). BirdLife Partners work together in a collaborative, coordinated fashion across national boundaries to build a global Partnership of national conservation organisations. All AfriEvolve project partners belong or candidate to belong to the BirLife International global partnership. Since 2020, BirdLife launched the Hatch initiative (https://hatch.birdlife.org/) aiming to close the existing resourcing gap by investing on a long term in the people and organisations that make nature conservation happen.

Among many CSA related projects, PIK currently implements Agrica (https://agrica.de/) in cooperation with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Developement (BMZ). The AGRICA project provides comprehensive in-depth climate risk analyses and shorter climate risk profiles for the agricultural sector in 12 targeted countries in sub-Saharan Africa also corresponding to the 6 targeted countries in AfriEvolve. Agrica aims to create science-based adaptation planning for decision makers to support the operationalisation of adaptation goals defined in Nationally Determined Contributions and National Adaptation Plans into concrete implemented actions.
