Pilot Program for Climate Resilience

The Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR), approved in November 2008, was the first program developed and operational under the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF), which is one of two funds within the design of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF).

The PPCR aims to pilot and demonstrate ways in which climate risk and resilience may be integrated into core development planning and implementation. In this way, the PPCR provides incentives for scaled-up action and initiates transformational change.

The pilot programs and projects implemented under the PPCR are country-led, build on National Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPA) and other relevant country studies and strategies. They are strategically aligned with other donor funded activities to provide financing for projects that will produce experience and knowledge useful to designing scaled-up adaptation measures.

The PPCR contributes to the objectives of the SCF by integrating climate resilience considerations into national development planning and implementation that are consistent with poverty reduction and sustainable development goals.

Under the PPCR two types of investments are supported.

1) Funding for technical assistance to enable developing countries to build upon existing national work to integrate climate resilience into national and sectoral development plans.

2) Funding public and private sector investments indentified in national or sectoral development plans or strategies addressing climate resilience.
