Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) is a seven-year research programme, funded by the UK Government’s Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), previously referred to as the Department for International Development (DfID), and the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), with the ultimate aims of reducing disruption and damage from climate change and safeguarding economic development and poverty eradication efforts over the long-term. In this way, FCFA aims to make new African infrastructure and urban and rural plans and investments more climate-resilient. The programme is implemented by four regional Research Consortia (RC), (HyCRISTAL, AMMA-2050, FRACTAL and UMFULA), a Consortium focused on the continent-wide science (IMPALA) and the Coordination, Capacity Development and Knowledge Exchange (CCKE) Unit, responsible for coordination of activities and maximising the impact of FCFA. More information on the full programme can be found on the FCFA website ( https://futureclimateafrica.org/) or using the IATI activity identifier for the full programme (GB-1-203835-103), currently reported by DfID as FCDO do not yet have an IATI identifier. As the FCFA programme moves into its final phase, it was noted that the Coordination Capacity Development and Knowledge Exchange (CCKE) Unit would have an increasingly impactful role to communicate the growing number of lessons learnt and outputs of the programme. In February 2019 the Coordination Capacity Development and Knowledge Exchange (CCKE) Unit, hosted by SouthSouthNorth (SSN) received a costed extension through an Accountable Grant (AG), funded by the FCDO (previously DfID). The costed extension was granted to maximise the impact and legacy of the FCFA programme and to implement key components of work that emerged during the FCFA programme and within the wider strategy of Her Majesty’s Government (HMG) to scale up International Climate Finance (ICF) spend. The focus remains to leverage the value of FCDO’s initial investment in FCFA in order to inform a wider African research agenda whilst bringing new climate information to bear on strategic and operational developmental decisions in Africa. The Department for International Development has closed. It’s been replaced by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO).
