Dr Katharine Vincent is in Dubai this week to participate in a meeting of the Collaborative Adaptation Research in Africa and Asia programme Gender and Equity Working Group. The meeting brings together researchers from the four CARIAA programmes that are investigating adaptation in different hotspots: HI-AWARE (snowpack river basins), ASSAR(semi-arid regions), PRISE (semi-arid economies) and DECCMA (deltas). The purpose is to apply the Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) methodology to a variety of case studies from across Africa and Asia to determine what enables women's adaptive capacity. This will result in a synthesis paper, due in late 2018.
