Beyond the Headlines: Reintroducing the Climate Change Conversation in East Africa
Drawing on case studies, this report hopes to demonstrate the need for East African countries to formulate comprehensive climate change adaptation strategies that focus on the needs of the people and are integrated into sustainable development across the region. Rather than imposing new, high-tech solutions, specific proposals include understanding, documenting, and enhancing current livelihood coping techniques.
Beyond Borders: Adapting to Climate-Driven Migration in East Africa
Climate-induced migration is an increasingly pressing issue in many African regions, as rising temperatures and extreme weather events have caused the displacement of vulnerable populations. This is especially so in Eastern Africa and the Horn of Africa, particularly Kenya and Ethiopia, where extreme weather events have led to rangeland degradation, crop failures, water shortages, and food insecurity.
Reactive Power Compensation in East African Power Systems: Technical Innovations and Grid Stability Solutions
East Africa’s power sector is rapidly expanding, with increasing reliance on renewable energy sources and growing regional electricity trade. The region’s transmission infrastructure is expanding to allow for robust power trade and eventually, to achieve the Africa Single Electricity Market (AfSEM), so managing reactive power becomes crucial.
