Leading Organization:
The World Bank
Implementing Agency and Partnering Organizations:
A Pilot Program for Climate Resilience Sub-Committee (PPCR-SC) will be established to oversee the operations and activities of the Pilot Program. The PPCR-SC is comprised of the following Members: Australia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Canada, Germany, Japan, Maldives, Samoa, Senegal, UK, Yemen, and The Developing Country Chair or Vice-Chair of the Adaptation Fund Board.
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. For more information: [World Bank - Pilot Program for Climate Resilience](http://go.worldbank.org/2N8K0LZ7C0)

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.

Project Status:
The PPCR will provide financing in the short-term. Recipient countries will be identified, and the first phase of funding to prepare climate resilient development plans will occur, primarily during 2008-2009. The Sub-Committee will not approve any new PPCR financing for activities after calendar year 2012.
Funding Source:
Strategic Climate Fund
Cofinancing Total:
PPCR is designed to deliver additional finance to countries for integrating climate resilience into development planning and investments, including the blending of grant and highly concessional loans with domestic public and private financing. Both grants and concessional loans will be available to finance the additional costs necessary to make a project climate resilient.
