Approach: Selection process for pilots
Step I: General eligibility (EoI):
 Administrative elements (incl. stakeholder
approval)
 General climate change adaptation relevance
 Contribution to sustainable development
Step II: Sectoral eligibility (EoI):
 Linking vulnerability reduction to specific sectors;
also to serve as list of ideas
 Description of measure; support documents
Step III: Cost & time requirements (EoI):
 CapEx + OpEx, timeframe for implementation
 Preferred suppliers / PPP partners

Sustainability of the initiative
As the project is currently being implemented, sustainability strategy and
workable models are being developed, by:
 Providing community ownership through decision making and supporting
implementation and community led O&M
 Creating inclusive institutional structures which offer space to all major
stakeholders
 Replication of pilots through alternative funding sources
 Creating planning toolkits like local adaptation and mitigation guides
(LAMGs) as living documents

Lessons learnt on making community-based adaptation work
 Local capacity is essential for responding to climatic shocks
 Direct and visible benefits accrued by CCA pilots keeps community motivated
 Relationship of trust between community, leadership and implementing
partners is crucial for implementation
