I believe that building the adaptive capacity and resilience of the people through putting together relatively more practical and sustainable adaptation strategies, tailored to suit specific communities is key. This would however need a total transformation in our way of doing things, our beliefs, norms and traditions. I hope I would be able to put together some of such relevant life changing strategies at the end of the Mobility Period.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The QES Project and Advancement of your Career<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My expectation is to be able to continue to use the skills I will acquire from this program in my future writings and research. My aspiration is to be able to collaborate with your outfit to initiate a community awareness creation program\/project on climate change. This program would entail guiding communities to come up with relevant and appropriate climate adaptation and mitigation strategies specific to them, geared towards reducing the impact of climate change on their activities and putting together sustainable ways of using resources available to them for improve livelihoods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"people-type":[30],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.2 -
