About Africa Talks Climate
Africa Talks Climate (ATC) was a major research and communications project undertaken by the BBC World Service Trust and funded by the British Council in 2009-10.
The major objective of ATC was to identify ways to engage, inform and empower Africans in local, national and international conversations about climate change.
Fieldwork was conducted in ten countries in 2009: DR Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.
A robust qualitative research design blending focus group discussions and indepth interviews conducted at multiple locations in each country produced the most comprehensive pan-African report on attitudes to climate change to date.
ATC has informed the work of the British Council and others working on climate change projects in the region, following an international launch of findings and recommendations in Nairobi in March 2010.
ATC was intended to inform the development of local and regional climate change communications strategies, and to offer practical guidance of how media and communication can be used to suppport Africa's response to climate change.
