Climate Adaptation: Risk Management and Resilience Optimisation for Vulnerable Road Access in Africa, Recommendations for Phase 2
This report gives recommendations for climate adaptation of 3 roads in Ethiopia, Ghana and Mozambique
Abstract
The aim of Phase 1 of the Climate Adaptation study is to provide methodologies and guidance on the assessment of climate threats and for the identification and prioritisation of adaptation options. These are contained in 2 reports: a Climate Threats Report and a Climate Adaptation Options Report. A further aim of Phase 1 is to provide the basis for the implementation of demonstration sections in 3 countries: Ethiopia, Ghana and Mozambique.
In this report, preliminary recommendations for the climate adaptation of 3 roads, one in each of the above countries, are presented. These roads are representative of the range of potential hazards that low volume access roads are likely to be exposed to in AfCAP partner countries. The roads were selected following site visits undertaken in these 3 countries. The report contains field notes on other roads inspected during these visits. The report also presents preliminary recommendations for Phase 2 of the study
This output is part of the Applied Research on Rural Roads and Transport Services through Community Access Programmes in Africa and Asia (AFCAP2 and AsCAP)
