This document report on the successful implementation in Gambia of the climate talk, a radio advocacy program which was intended to raise awareness, promote public participation and access to information on climate change issues and helped paved the way for concrete debate on climate issues and its impact in the country.

Within a period of 12 months, the project was able to carry out 22 panel discussions involving stakeholders from policy level, NGOs to local communities. Interviews with 200 people including local farmers, fishermen, taxi drivers, university students and lecturers were also carried out, enabling them to share their knowledge, understanding or in some cases their coping mechanism of the effect of climate change. The project paid a particular emphasis on local communities’ adaptation efforts and knowledge on climate change adaptation, which for far too long was under-utilised or not considered in climate change policy formulation at the national level
