The West Africa Biodiversity and Climate Change (WA BiCC) Program is a five-year learning program funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Although regional in scope, WA BiCC works in targeted geographical areas, or ‘‘Learning Landscapes,’’ to generate knowledge that informs local, national, and regional practices addressing critical climate change and biodiversity challenges in West Africa. By working with core regional partners—the Economic Community of West African States, the Mano River Union, and the Abidjan Convention—alongside national and sub-national institutions and local communities, WA BiCC strives to increase the capacity of institutions at all levels to achieve its three core goals: combating wildlife trafficking; increasing coastal resilience to climate change; and reducing deforestation, forest degradation, and biodiversity loss.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. · Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. · Source: initiative records, start year
Began during the Barack Obama administration (2009–2017). Based on its first award year, 2013. This places the program in time only; it does not mean that administration started it.
