Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
United Nations University-EHS, European CommissionSummary:
CLICO is a three year research project funded by the European Commission.
Expected Outputs:
CLICO pursues the following two objectives:
- To understand and model the relationships between hydro-climatic hazards, climate change vulnerability, human security and conflict, on the basis of theoretically-informed, comparative empirical research.
- To map international and national policies for security and adaptation in water resources and hazard management, and develop a policy model for security against hydro-climatic hazards (“hydro-security”) in the region, applicable to the UN, EU and national states.

Summary:
The UNDP Community Water Initiative has funded successful projects in some of the most vulnerable communities in Africa, South Asia, and Central America. Using a broad range of innovative approaches, these projects have helped increase the capacities of local people to participate in developing their own solutions to local water resource problems. By providing modest funds, CWI has helped generate large rewards for the communities in terms of water security, natural resources management, and social well being.

Africa Adaptation Programme - Supporting Integrated and Comprehensive Approaches to Climate Change Adaptation in Africa
Submitted by andrea on Wed, 2010-02-17 05:44Year:
Summary:
The Africa Adaptation Programme (AAP) has been designed to support the long-term efforts of targeted countries to further develop their capability to successfully identify, design and implement holistic adaptation and disaster risk reduction programmes that are aligned with national development priorities. In this regard AAP is not a traditional adaptation programme per se – but a strategic initiative, aimed at creating an environment for more informed and capable adaptation decisions and practice in each country.
The brochures below (in English, French and Japanese) provide a brief outline of the Programme, as well as a snapshot of the key priorities identified by each country under AAP
Potential for agronomical enhancement of millet yield and soil buffering capacity through Jatropha
-
Project details
-
Summary:
This project is intending to develop with small scale farmers, appropriate manure out of oilcake of Jatropha curcas in order to:
a) enhance millet productivity;
b) reduce soil moisture stress and
c) better control soil temperature variation. For this purpose participatory approach is adopted to compare the effects of two fertilizers and 5 methods of fertilizer application. Measurements on soil moisture and soil temperature variation are carried out and millet agronomic parameters as well.

Pilot Program for Climate Resilience
Submitted by andrea on Tue, 2009-11-24 05:18Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
Summary:
The Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) is the first program under the Strategic Climate Fund. It aims to provide incentives for scaled up action and transformational change in integrating consideration of climate resilience in national development planning consistent with poverty reduction and sustainable development goals.
It will provide additional financial resources to help fund public and private sector investments identified in climate resilient development plans.
Pilot Country presentations from the October 26 and 27 PPCR Pilot Country Meetings are now available online.
Project Components:
The Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) is designed to provide programmatic finance for national climate resilient national development plans. The PPCR aims to provide transformational and scaled-up support for both the development and implementation of such plans.
Furthermore, its purpose is to provide lessons over the next few years that might be taken up by countries, the development community, and the future climate change regime, including the Adaptation Fund.
This experience will be gained through scaled-up interventions covering the full range of sectors and sources of financing, and with sufficient resources to move quickly from planning to action.
The PPCR will build upon National Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPAs), will be implemented in a manner consistent with the Paris Declaration of Aid Effectiveness, and will complement existing adaptation funds which continue to serve essential roles in tackling climate change.
Expected Outputs:
Objectives:
(a) Pilot and demonstrate approaches for integration of climate risk and resilience into development policies and planning;
(b) Strengthen capacities at the national levels to integrate climate resilience into development planning;
(c) Scale-up and leverage climate resilient investment, building on other ongoing initiatives;
(d) Enable learning-by-doing and sharing of lessons at country, regional and global levels.

Global - Technical Assistance to Francophone LDCs to Implement the UNFCCC8/CP8 Decision
-
Project details
-
Implementing Agency:
UNDPImplementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
UNITARSummary:
Project Rationale and Objectives _(as outlined in the Project Document of 25 July 2003)_ The Least Developed Countries (LDCs) represent the poorest and weakest segment of the international community. The economic and social development of these countries represents a major challenge because of a series of vulnerabilities and constraints, such as limited human, institutions and productive LDCs themselves, as well as for their development partners.
Project Components:
To train Francophone NAPA teams to produce NAPAs of good quality.
Expected Outputs:
21 Country teams are adequately trained to carry out their NAPA work. The three key outcomes are: * Informed representatives of the Francophone LDCs delegations and increased awareness about the application of the NAPA guidelines from a substantive point of view; * Increased participatory discussion among the various players involved and their proactive commitment to the NAPA creation process. * Increased understanding of Francophone LDCs UNFCCC Focal Points about successful GEF NAPA projects implementation/process.

Community-Based Adaptation
Submitted by Ajose on Wed, 2009-09-02 01:10Implementing Agency:
Summary:
It is increasingly recognized that small communities are likely to be the most severely affected by climate change impacts and yet are least equipped to cope and adapt. This pilot project is designed to implement community-based projects that seek to enhance the resiliency of communities, and/or the ecosystems on which they rely, to climate change impacts. It will essentially create small-scale/policy laboratories and generate knowledge about how to achieve adaptation at the local level.
Project Components:
Projects will be implemented in areas that are particularly vulnerable to climate change including variability, and where there is high potential to secure global environmental benefits in the context of climate change. Lessons learned from community projects will then be leveraged to promote replication of successful community practices, and integration of lessons learned into policies that promote increased community adaptive capacity. This project will assist in responding to GEF internal needs for concrete experience with local-scale climate change adaptation, as well as the growing needs of countries for ground-level experience and clear policy lessons.
Expected Outputs:
Enhanced adaptive capacity which allows communities to reduce their vulnerability to adverse impacts of future climate hazards; National policies and programmes designed that include community adaptation priorities to promote replication, up-scaling and mainstreaming of best practices derived from CBA projects; and Cooperation among member countries promoted for innovation in the design and implementation of adaptation to climate change including variability projects and policies.

Climate Change Screening Matrix
Submitted by andrea on Mon, 2009-06-08 23:43Summary:
Background
The Climate Change Screening Matrix provides guidance and a check-list for use by field-mission representatives and Danish development partners. As part of the Climate Change Screening Matrix, climate change is integrated as part of wider “environment” as a crosscutting issue. Testing on sector programmes in 17 countries. There are results available for Benin, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Kenya, Mali, Nepal, Niger.
