Africa Communities Coalition for Response to Climate Change (ACCRCC)
Statement of Engagement | 9th East Africa Philanthropy Conference
The African Coalition of Communities Responsive to Climate Change (ACCRCC)participated in the 9th East Africa Philanthropy Conference, held from 11th to 13th June 2025 at the Kigali Serena Hotel in Rwanda, under the theme:”Agile Philanthropy: Adapting to Economic, Social and Political Shifts.”
With great enthusiasm, conviction, and vision, our agenda—alongside like-minded state and non-state actors—was to rethink how to co-create initiatives to integrate mental health into climate response for a healthier and more stable society.
Dr Rosalind Nkirote, Executive Director of ACCRCC actively engaged in various interactive workstreams, where she held meaningful discussions with funders, government representatives, and philanthropic organisations. Her participation provided a platform to advocate for inclusive and community-centered approaches to climate action that consider the psychosocial impact of climate shocks on African communities.
This engagement aligns with our core goal: to spur development in the face of climate extremes, which are increasing in both frequency and intensity—impacting livelihoods, tearing the social fabric that defines Ubuntu, and escalating both poverty and the burden of disease.
As ACCRCC, we remain committed to fostering partnerships that value both financial and non-financial contributions in building resilient communities across the continent.

ARIN invites you to this week's Friday Review Session

which will  focus on  the Assessment of the Nexus Between Climate Change and Mental Health in Sub-Saharan Africa: Case Study of Kajiado County, Kenya.

 
This session will explore the intersection of climate change and mental health outcomes in Kajiado County, highlighting key findings, challenges, and potential policy implications.  

Celebrating Partnership and Progress: A Message of Gratitude and Hope for 2025

As 2024 draws to a close, the ACCRCC extends our heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed partners, donors, and governments for your unwavering support and collaboration. Together, we have navigated challenges, celebrated milestones, and advanced our shared mission of fostering climate-resilient communities across Africa.

This year, your dedication and partnership have empowered us to make meaningful strides in addressing the impacts of climate change at the grassroots level, strengthening community voices, and influencing policies for a sustainable future. These achievements would not have been possible without your trust and commitment to our cause.

As we look ahead to 2025, we are filled with optimism and determination. The journey toward climate resilience continues, and we remain steadfast in our resolve to deepen our impact through innovative initiatives and stronger alliances. Together, we can achieve even greater success in creating a climate-secure future for all.

From all of us at ACCRCC, we wish you a joyful festive season and a prosperous New Year. May 2025 bring new opportunities for collaboration and impactful action.

"The health of the planet and the health of the mind are deeply interconnected. As the environment deteriorates, so does the mental well-being of those who feel the weight of its loss—and yet, hope grows when we take action, healing both Earth and ourselves."
