The Climate and Agriculture Network for Africa (CANA) is a knowledge sharing web-based platform by the CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) East Africa and a network of partners. Through CANA, CCAFS EA brings together researchers and practitioners within Climate Science and Agriculture who are seeking to build resilience within African agriculture. The platform fills an important niche by linking climate change and agriculture policy processes with key research and development actors from Africa. The platform will ensure timely sharing and access to information by all the partners involved. CANA promotes collaboration amongst institutions and partners online and will bring together an increasing group of players within the climate change and agriculture sectors to be involved in conversations on the establishment of best practices for African Agriculture. Key themes in CANA include:

•     Climate-Smart Agriculture
•     Building resilience to climate change
•     Low emissions development
•     Financing climate adaptation
•     Gender and Equity
•     Policies for adaptation
