Plans to establish a centre to research methods to cope with climate change in southern Africa are well on the way.

The Regional Science Center for Southern Africa is lead by Namibia, Angola, South Africa and Zambia, together with the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

A workshop was held in Windhoek last week. Peter Iilonga, Agriculture Deputy Minister, said during the opening that the SADC region is extremely vulnerable because of the high dependence on climate-sensitive sectors like agriculture.

Namibia will be affected more than others, due to the dry conditions of the country. According to Iilonga, international experts have singled out the region. The five neighboring countries have formed a sub-region and will be working together by pooling resources and sharing experience.

Egon Kochanke, German ambassador to Namibia, said that African and German researchers will work together at the centre to give decision-makers advice based on scientific evidence.

In West Africa, a similar initiative has started and includes ten countries.
