Going in the Right Direction?

The paper examines the challenges of channeling adaptation finance to vulnerable communities, noting a disconnect between national priorities and local needs. It recommends enhancing coordination, clarifying adaptation tagging criteria, and building local capacity to improve the transparency and effectiveness of fund disbursement.

• There is a misalignment between national-level priorities and the actual needs of local communities when deciding on adaptation project activities, meaning the two rarely relate to each other.
• Projects designated as adaptation and funded by national governments or donors do not consistently address climate change risks, which complicates the tracking of adaptation finance.
• Stakeholders face difficulties accessing information from certain national government agencies and donors regarding the actual dispersion of adaptation funds.
