Kulima Integrated Development Solutions is a women-owned specialist consultancy committed to addressing the risks imposed by climate change and securing human development, particularly in Africa. Our expertise is centred around climate change adaptation, and includes the related fields of vulnerability, climate finance, and disaster risk reduction. We are also committed to taking gender-sensitive approaches to our assignments. Common projects that we undertake include vulnerability assessments (at a variety of scales using various methods as appropriate to the context), proposing adaptation options – for both policy and practice, and developing materials to build the capacity of various audiences in the field of climate adaptation (e.g. training courses, presentations, and producing guidebooks and toolkits). We have many years of experience in Africa, and are well aware of the limited success of imposing solutions from outside. We are committed to a complete understanding of institutional and policy context, and undertaking stakeholder consultation processes to ensure that proposed solutions are owned by the appropriate stakeholders to ensure their continued success.
