Five Southern African states have agreed

region, reports TheNewAge.
The study centre, Southern African
Science Service Centre for Climate Change and Adaptive Land Management NaijaAgroNet learnt would be launched in
Windhoek, Namibia by the five countries, namely South Africa, Angola, Botswana,
Zambia and Namibia.
Also, NaijaAgroNet
gathered that German
government supported the initiative with 50 million euros, about N10.38 billion
aimed at streamlining the regional scientific research about climate change
trends and management of natural resources.
NaijaAgroNet recalls that a similar centre was
recently launched by 10 West African states, supported and funded by Germany.
John Phiri, Zambian Science
minister said, "This initiative will bring knowledge, data, information
and services generated by our own scientists with support of their colleagues
from Germany."
The centre would also coordinate research and
share information, with a secretariat based in Windhoek.
