| description | This session convened multi-stakeholder participants — UN agencies, regional actors, national research institutions, private sector actors, youth and disability representatives — to explore pathways for accelerating climate-resilient technologies in Africa through South-South cooperation.
Key takeaways included
• South-South cooperation can accelerate cross-country technology transfer, enabling solutions developed in one country to benefit others, as exemplified by the IPRA project.
• Africa must move from aid dependency to African-led investment partnerships, while strengthening self-reliance and regional collaboration.
• Technologies must be demand-driven, ensuring smallholder farmers see clear benefits, with actionable solutions linked to local contexts.
• Collaboration with national research institutes and centers is critical to co-develop and localize technologies.
• Youth engagement, AI, and big data can operationalize anticipatory action when linked to innovation hubs, hackathons, and structured internships.
• Inclusive adaptation is essential: co-design with women, youth, persons with disabilities, and pastoralists ensures equitable access and adoption.
• Sustainable human capacity requires retention strategies, career pathways, and local innovation centers to prevent brain drain.
• Innovative financing, including blended finance and value-chain approaches, can catalyze private investment, ensure inclusion, and create sustainable markets. |
