The South African Institute of International Affairs (SAIIA) is seeking donations for its 'Sponsor a Delegate' campaign, the sole legacy project for its 80th anniversary in 2014. The funds support YOUTH@SAIIA, an outreach initiative that provides high school and university students with skills in diplomacy, research, and public speaking through programmes such as Model United Nations, the Environmental Sustainability Project, and inter-school quizzes. In 2013, these programmes reached over 5,000 learners and educators. SAIIA requests sponsorships ranging from R 200 to R 10,000 to cover costs such as transport, learning materials, and equipment, noting that the average cost per delegate is R 500.

The document highlights the role of the NAP Global Network in supporting over 120 developing countries with climate adaptation planning. It details specific interventions in Ethiopia and Colombia, provides metrics on technical assistance and training, and calls for $5 million in donations to support countries most vulnerable to climate change.
