Adaptation Project Preparation Facility for Asia and the Pacific (Adapt Asia-Pacific)

The Asia-Pacific Climate Change Adaptation Support Facility (ADAPT Asia-Pacific) responds to a key priority identified in RDMA's Asia-Pacific Regional Climate Change Adaptation Assessment (February 2010) and provides capacity building and governance support to increase access to funding for climate change adaptation projects.

This program will: (i) strengthen human and institutional capacity to prepare high-quality climate change adaptation investment proposals; (ii) accelerate and ensure sustained access to financial resources for climate change adaptation investment projects; and (iii) support and strengthen a regional knowledge platform to share and replicate best practices.

The program will also help develop specific curricula in regional institutions to address gaps in capacity identified by national governments and key stakeholders.
