Drawing on evidence from the Africa Climate Change Resilience Alliance (ACCRA) project – a research and advocacy consortium in Ethiopia, Mozambique and Uganda – this paper examines how different kinds of development interventions affect the characteristics of adaptive capacity. The authors argue that adaptation to climate change should not be addressed in isolation; that development interventions could be designed and implemented to build people's capacity to adapt to any change, including climate change; and the focus should shift from technology transfer to people and their agency.
