USAID Climate Ready Lessons Learned Report

USAID Climate Ready is focused on achieving its Strategic Objective of capacity of PICs increased to adapt to negative impacts of climate change through three objectives:

• Objective 1: National, sub-national and sectoral policies, regulations and legal frameworks, and institutional arrangements necessary for achieving adaptation goals as identified in national adaptation plans are in place and in practice;

• Objective 2: PICs’ abilities to access international, multilateral climate change funds increased; and.

• Objective 3: Timely and successful adaptation project implementation increased by building professional capacity and management systems to coordinate, manage, monitor, and report on adaptation projects.

In order to achieve these results, the USAID Climate Ready Project applies the following implementation principles to guide the overall strategy and direct how USAID Climate Ready operates and delivers its results:

• Prioritize climate financing as the principal project driver;

• Challenge PIC leadership to address policy gaps and social inequalities;

• Leverage counterpart exchanges to share experience and fill gaps;

• Support design and implementation of Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) projects at scale through practitioner-led initiatives; • Link capacity building support to actual CCA projects;

• Leverage existing information and best practices to jump-start implementation; and

• Expand impact through e-learning and other innovative tools.
