Adaptation at Scale in Semi-Arid Regions

[1] ASSAR was part of the CARIAA (Collabora ve Adapta on Research Initiative in Africa and Asia) program.

[2] The ASSAR project integrated multidisciplinary scientific research (at the regional and theme levels), capacity building, and stakeholder engagement.

Research teams will collaborate in multiple South Asian and African nations to produce reliable information that decision-makers and others may utilize to create effective adaptation strategies.

ASSAR seeks to address the requirements of practitioner and government stakeholders through participatory work from 2014 to 2018, helping to design more effective policy frameworks and creating more durable adaptation solutions.

[6] Also, the goal of ASSAR's research is to create a distinct and comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms and elements that prevent adaptation and continue vulnerability.
