Summary:

This Toolkit is designed to guide users through the process of developing and implementing Community-Based Adaptation (CBA) projects. It is organised around the following, simplified stages in the project cycle: analysis, design and implementation. It also provides guidance on information & knowledge management, including monitoring & evaluation.

Its step-by-step structure helps users build climate-resilient projects with sustainable impacts. The Toolkit also includes simple checklists to ensure that development activities don’t increase people’s vulnerability to climate change. It provides guidance and recommended tools for all stages of the project cycle, as well as tools, resources and practical examples from CARE projects around the world. Water resource management and agriculture projects are specifically highlighted, as they were targeted in the early tests of the Toolkit. This interactive Toolkit is designed to be flexible. Users can tailor the process to meet their needs, priorities and available resources. Furthermore, CARE sees the Toolkit as a ‘living’ document or resource.
