A total of 28 SSA countries mention the need of specific technology transfer in order to enhance and ensure mitigation and adaptation actions (IGES, 2017). This is done forthree reasons: i) The most recent Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCCC was held in an African country, ii) agriculture, particularly as concerns the relation between developing and developed countries, was front and centre at the COP, and iii) SSA is expected to be disproportionately affected by climate change, and faces tremendous challenges of poverty, food insecurity and political instability. As such, this region is especially in need of initiatives to address the impacts of climate change.
