Michigan State University News published an article stating that the Comprehensive Action for Climate Change Initiative (CACCI), a buy-in of the Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Policy Research, Capacity, and Influence (PRCI), continues to build global momentum as it expands beyond the original partnership with the African Union Commission (AUC). CACCI announced at its COP27 launch, it will partner with local stakeholders in Africa, Asia,  and Latin America and the Caribbean.

CACCI-Asia was represented at COP-27 by Suresh Babu, PRCI Asia Training Lead and Senior Research Fellow at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI). At the Tajikistan Pavilion in partnership with USAID and the Committee for Environmental Protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, Babu shared a presentation on “South and Southeast Asia Perspective: Launching of CACCI-Asia.” The presentation highlighted the CACCI approach in Tajikistan and how it could be leveraged in other South Asian countries to support NDC Secretariats in key activities for NDC implementation.
