The Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP) is a partnership program to help countries and communities in Asia and the Pacific region scale up investments in climate adaptation, especially investments at the community level, that explicitly target the nexus between climate change, poverty, and gender. The CRPP has a dedicated gender window with funds earmarked specifically for supporting women-focused investments.
The CRPP Partnership Forum 2024 will focus on decentralization programs and skills development as key themes for addressing climate risk, reducing poverty, and promoting gender equality.
With dedicated discussions, the forum will help inform practical ways to design and deliver such programs so that they respond to current and future climate risks, address the underlying causes of vulnerability, and empower communities, especially women. Discussion on these themes will also be linked to discussions that took place during the CRPP Partnership Forum 2023 on adaptive social protection and climate-resilient rural livelihoods.
The CRPP is operationalized through the Community Resilience Financing Partnership Facility (CRFPF) and includes a multi-donor trust fund administered by ADB and supported by the Green Climate Fund, the Government of the United Kingdom, the Nordic Development Fund, and the French Development Agency.
Objectives
The annual CRPP Partnership Forum brings together community leaders, government officials, think tanks, financing institutions, and global climate funds to discuss what role can poverty reduction programs play in building climate resilience.
