The global scientific and policy community has agreed that climate change is already a reality. Poverty in Africa has worsened since the climate change debate started and now more than 100 million facing a cute water, food and nutritional crisis. The continent is at risk due to its reliance on rain-fed agriculture and donor support for more than three decades. Farmers in Africa routinely engage in the practice for subsistence, rather than agribusiness. Environmental degradation associated with unregulated land use, drought, and inadequate safety net policies has negatively impacted vulnerable communities and hence difficulties to achieve the SDGs goals and objectives of poverty reduction. In this paper, we shall be examining, how climate change has affected the poor in Africa with objective of advocating for pro-poor policy that will enhance their adaptability, social transformation and resilience. Previous studies and experience on the effect of climate change suggests that the best way to address climate change impacts on the poor is by integrating adaptation responses into development planning. Such development programming can be easily promoted in the poor environment rather than relocating them. Poor people in African can be categorized into three classes: -1) rural poor directly connected to their natural environment and its resources, 2) urban poor directly depending on the labour skills, 3) women because of their extreme burdens. We shall share the experience gained through literature reviews and scholarly observations in communities in Africa. In order to carry out the purpose of this study, the effect of climate on the poor in Africa was examined in relation to water, energy, food, shelter, governance, institutions, and infrastructures. It is argued that climate effect on the poor in Africa impact most the rural poor and women because of their high exposure. This calls for honest debates, discussions and pro-poor policy on climate change adaption in order to support a multidisciplinary, transdisciplinary and multifaceted approaches to drive adaptability, social transformation and resilience of the poor.
