Community Resilience Partnership Program Multiple Countries: Asia and Pacific Region

The Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP) is a regional initiative managed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to strengthen the climate resilience of approximately 3.2 million poor and vulnerable people in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and Vanuatu. The program is structured into two components: a Trust Fund (TF) for upstream capacity building and knowledge generation, and an Investment Fund (IF) for downstream implementation of adaptation measures. The IF focuses on three primary outputs: improving climate risk information systems, implementing climate-resilient pro-poor livelihoods, and constructing pro-poor climate adaptation infrastructure. The program emphasizes transformational adaptation, gender equality, and the use of nature-based solutions to address the disproportionate impacts of climate change on marginalized populations.

• The CRPP aims to strengthen the climate resilience of at least 3,219,400 direct beneficiaries and 4,465,000 indirect beneficiaries across seven countries.
• The program's total financing is 750 million USD, with 120 million USD requested from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), consisting of 100 million USD in grants and 20 million USD in loans.
• The program is operationalized through the Community Resilience Financing Partnership Facility (CRFPF), which includes a Trust Fund (TF) for upstream support and an Investment Fund (IF) for downstream local adaptation measures.
• The CRPP Trust Fund has a budget of 75 million USD, with approximately 15% earmarked for a dedicated Gender Window to support investments that strengthen the resilience of women.
• The program targets seven specific countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and Vanuatu.
• A primary objective of the program is to address the 'adaptation gap' for low-income populations by promoting climate justice and supporting economically and socially marginalized groups.
• The program identifies four main barriers to local adaptation: lack of accessible climate information, limited access to finance, weak institutional capacity, and risk aversion regarding community-level actions.
• The Investment Fund (IF) focuses on three key output areas: improving climate-risk informed information systems, implementing pro-poor livelihood investments, and delivering pro-poor adaptation infrastructure.
• The program emphasizes the use of nature-based and ecosystem-based infrastructure, such as mangrove reforestation, to reduce exposure to hazards like storm surges and coastal erosion.
• The CRPP seeks to integrate climate risk information into national social protection systems to make them 'shock-responsive' and better target beneficiaries.
