BackgroundThe Delta Alliance is an international knowledge-driven network organisation that promotes and facilitates delta networks (wings) in Africa and beyond.
In May 2017 in Cotonou, Benin, at an interregional delta gathering the African Delta Alliance wings from Egypt, Mozambique, Ghana, Kenya and Benin expressed their interest in developing an African Delta Knowledge Exchange network to support exchange of knowledge and success practices and to enable peer-to-peer learning between African deltas to increase the resilience of delta regions in Africa.
The main objective of the Delta Alliance side event is to discuss the mission, objectives and approach of the Delta Alliance African Wings (Kenya, Ghana and Egypt) and candidate Wing (Benin).
Representatives of other delta regions and networks in Africa and a wider group of stakeholders in delta planning and management will also participate in the side event to explore the challenges and opportunities.
Goal of the meeting
· Present the idea of establishing an African Deltas Alliance Network
· Discuss mission, objectives and approach with a wider group of stakeholders and experts in delta planning and management
