Abstract :
The study aimed to assess climate change
adaptations responses of institutions towards pastoral
communities and to examine the effectiveness of their
role in facilitating and supporting climate change
adaptation in pastoral sector in River Atbara and New
Halfa Municipalities of Kassala State Eastern Sudan.
Approach used is Climate Vulnerability and
Capacity Analysis (CVCA), (2009) based on CARE,
community based adaptation framework.Tools are desk
research, check-list for consultations, meetings,
interviews in addition to Venn diagram questionnaire.
The study is conducted for formal and informal
institutions at local and state level. Collected data were
coded, computerized and analysed using the Statistical
Package for Social Sciences (SPSS).Key findings were
that the Gov. institutions have well defined roles and
mechanisms, they are directly and indirectly related to
climate resilient actions, their mission is to provide
weather and climate information; social and health
services and development activities to ensure adaptations
and sustainable development. Institutional engagements
are wide-ranging across the Gov.; informal institutions
and NOGs at State or local levels .The all-inclusive
representatives’ institutions mentioned that different
plans and activities within their responsibilities,
contribute to reduction of vulnerability of the pastoral
groups including and not limited to: enforcement of
legislations ,rangelands and forest improvement and
management; water source development; provision of
climate information and services and capacity
building.Enabling factors which have been discussed
based on CARE, community based adaptation
framework include: Promotion of climate-resilient
livelihoods ; Climate related risks reduction; Capacity
development and addressing underlying causes of
vulnerability. Results also revealed that, enabling factors
affected by low institutional capacities; absence of
national climate policy and measures; weak regulatory
framework to support adaptation options regarding
pastoral sector and low levels of information availability
and accessibility and dissemination. Early warning
systems and climate information have an important role
to play in promoting adaptation depending on people
ability to use the information effectively. Climate data
forecasting are not well distributed , low voice of
pastoralists and local institutions in local planning
processes the legislations enforcement and policy
adoption dimensions are crucial barriers for pastoral
communities in the area to build climate-resilient
livelihoods .The study recommended that the pastoral
communities in the area have to build climate-resilient
livelihoods and considerate the conciliation between the
community and and formal policy maker institutions.
