Abstract
The East African Community Climate Change Master Plan (EACCCMP) is an outcome of a consultative and participatory process for a unified regional approach to combat climate change. It was developed by the East African Community (EAC) Partner States (Republic of Burundi, Republic of Kenya, Republic of Rwanda, United Republic of Tanzania, and Republic of Uganda) with facilitation of the EAC Secretariat. The purpose of the Master Plan is to provide a long-term vision and a basis for Partner States to operationalise a comprehensive framework for adapting to and mitigating climate change in line with the EAC Protocol on Environment and Natural Resources Management and with international climate change agreements. The Master Plan ‘s Vision is to ensure that: The People, the Economies and the Ecosystems of the EAC Partner States are climate resilient and adapt accordingly to Climate Change.
The Vision is aligned and consistent with EAC ‘s mandate and development priorities as articulated in a number of relevant environmental and climate change documents such as the EAC Climate Change Policy, EAC Climate Change Strategy, the EAC Protocol on Environment and Natural Resources Management and the EAC Food Security Action Plan. The overall objective of the Master-Plan is to strengthen regional cooperation to address climate change issues that concern regionally shared resources.
