Project Targets

KPI 1

KPI 6.1 - Number and diversity of innovation pathways identified and analysed

17/3 3 innovation pathways targeting each uptake dimension achieved

Note: 64 projects were identified through desk review and interviews; 17 innovation pathways were identified and analysed in depth. These pathways span a wide range of tools and approaches related to climate extremes (e.g., floods, droughts) and cultural heritage. They address all three uptake dimensions (market, regulatory, societal), though market uptake remains underrepresented due to systemic barriers (e.g. low TRL focus, limited private sector engagement, IPR challenges). Tasks 6.2 and 6.3 will explore underrepresented market uptake pathways further.

KPI 2

KPI 6.2 - Number of key enablers and barriers for R&I uptake

27/20 27 enablers and barriers explored in terms of their impact and significance achieved

Note: Enablers and barriers where explored with interviews for the 17 selected pathways. Ongoing work in Task 6.2 aims to expand and deepen this analysis. Focus includes both push and pull mechanisms affecting uptake, and findings will inform criteria and initial recommendations. 9 enablers and 12 barries have been identified so far, which will be further discussed and revised during stakeholder workshops as part of T6.2.

KPI 3

kPI 6.3 - Number and diversity of stakeholders engaged

56/150 6.3.1 - 50 innovation pathway end-users, 100 intermediary actors/mediators with 1/3 representation across the three uptake dimensions. 6.3.2 - 50% representatives from associated and widening countries engaged within the workshops and showcasing events. 6.3.3 - Targets in terms of gender and social equity in stakeholder engagement in activities will be established and reported. achieved

Note: 19 stakeholder were interviewed to explore Innovation Pathways, enablers and barriers. The engagement during the Mombasa workshop included 37 African and youth stakeholders, with targeted breakout sessions.Tasks 6.2 and 6.3 will broaden outreach to additional end-users and intermediaries, with a focus on equity and inclusion.
