I participate at climapAfrica because
I participate at climapafrica program because it offers an early career researcher like me the opportunity to further research and to share the local perception of the impacts of climate changes in agriculture. It is also a way to broaden my network, to get new skills amongst Africans fellows and with Germans experts, to present and discuss solutions and recommendations based on research findings. The working group is a good way to find together realistic and adapted solutions for Africa to cope climate change.
