The Barotse floodplain in western Zambia is becoming a more difficult place to live and farm as climate change impacts worsen and an old canal system no longer functions. New funding aims to make exposed communities like the ones on the Barotse floodplain more resilient to the effects of climate change - in large part by allowing local people to figure out what changes they think would be most effective and giving them money to carry them out. Zambians say the approach should be more effective and more resistant to corruption. THOMSON REUTERS FOUNDATION/Jeffrey Barbee
