Stratégie de communication du processus de Plan national d’adaptation aux changements climatiques de la République Centrafricaine (2025–2029)

The strategy aims to make climate adaptation options visible and foster societal ownership of the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) in the Central African Republic by 2030. It identifies nine target groups, including the public sector, private sector, and indigenous peoples, and outlines four strategic axes: political and financial appropriation, public awareness of best practices, information sharing among stakeholders, and coordination/monitoring. The plan includes a wide array of activities such as community radio broadcasts, mobile applications, and educational outreach, with an indicative budget of 479,225,000 FCFA. Implementation is led by the National Climate Coordination (CNC) under the supervision of a steering committee.

• The Central African Republic faces significant climate vulnerabilities, including persistent high temperatures, violent rains, land degradation, prolonged dry seasons, and floods, which have caused substantial losses in agriculture, health, water, energy, forestry, and housing over the last 30 years.
• The communication strategy is designed to address a previous deficit where NAP communication was limited to a few punctual activities conducted almost exclusively by the National Climate Coordination (CNC).
• The strategy identifies specific vulnerable groups that are most affected by climate change and are central to the NAP, specifically women, youth, displaced persons, persons with disabilities, and indigenous peoples (Mbororos and Akas).
• The strategy employs six distinct communication approaches: social mobilization, advocacy, event-based communication, mass communication, group communication, and communication for social and behavioral change.
• The strategy is organized around four strategic axes: (1) appropriation of the NAP by political decision-makers and technical/financial partners, (2) awareness of the population and stakeholders regarding key adaptation measures and best practices, (3) learning and information sharing among stakeholders, and (4) coordination and monitoring-evaluation of NAP activities.
• The indicative budget for the implementation of the communication strategy is 479,225,000 FCFA (approximately 731,641 euros), with the largest expenditure allocated to Axis 2 (Sensitization of the population and stakeholders) at 338,625,000 FCFA.
• Implementation is managed by the National Climate Coordination (CNC) and supervised by a steering and monitoring committee consisting of 15 to 20 people, including gender and climate focal points from sectoral ministries, specialists in communication, and representatives from civil society and the private sector.
• The strategy emphasizes the use of community radio to reach remote populations and includes specific targets for digital engagement, such as the creation of a CNC website, a mobile application, and social media accounts.
