Background

This process-based tool is designed to be a light touch screening process for donor programmes. The process utilises quantitative inputs climate science which are applied to the risk assessment of programmes usually at wide scales, and using directional trends rather than discrete figures. The tool utilises project documents and interviews with project staff as well as past trend in vulnerability and disaster risk. ORCHID aims to raise awareness of climate risk management and future climate change among staff, to stimulate dialogue with donor partners, to integrate disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation policies and activities.

The process makes recommendations for how programmes might enhance risk management through adaptive practices and cost benefit analysis and sector economic assessment are undertaken for areas where clear adaptation options can be discerned and where sufficient data is available. ORCHID was piloted on DFID bilateral portfolios in Bangladesh and India in 2007/08. More information >
