Community-Based Adaptation
Climate change is global, but impacts are regional and local• Impacts will affect different
communities differently based on their specific circumstances
…so, solutions must be locally specific• CBA is community-driven• CBA is the grass-roots
component of climate change adaptation
• CBA will respond to locally specific needs, and develop lessons for global and national stakeholders to further adaptation practice

Key Characteristics
• GEF SPA PROJECT
• Portfolio of 8-20 projects per country
• Same size as regular SGP projects (up to $50,000)
• Executed through similar structures as SGP focal area projects
• CBA will a separate portfolio, nested within SGP country programmes
• CBA programme period will be 5 years• 2008 through 2012
•Projects will deliver adaptation benefits, as well as global environmental benefits in a GEF focal area

The CBA is a global programme, with pilot countries selected to represent a variety of ecosystems and climate impacts
The CBA will be implemented in 10 countries:
• Bangladesh• Bolivia• Guatemala• Jamaica• Kazakhstan• Morocco• Niger• Namibia• Samoa• Viet Nam

The SPA is focused on ecosystem resilience
• The CBA is funded by the GEF Strategic Priority on Adaptation
• SPA funding is intended to fund the subset of adaptation activities that also generate global environmental benefits / make global environmental benefits resilient to climate change.

Adaptation Priorities
CBA
CBA Projects will be community-driven, addressing local development priorities
Like normal SGP projects, CBA projects will be selected in regions where community development priorities and global environmental objectives overlap…
…and where communities are vulnerable to climate change including variability…
The CBA will operate where GEB and adaptation priorities overlap

GEB and Climate Resilience
• Projects may support adaptation interventions that generate GEB in a GEF focal area as part of an adaptation intervention
–So long as those GEB are resilient to climate change
• Projects may support an adaptation intervention that will increase the resilience of GEBs in a GEF focal area (BD, LD, etc)
–Provided that the GEB in question is threatened by an impact stemming from climate change

CBA Project Goal and Objective
Objective: “To enhance the capacity of communities in the pilot countries to adapt to climate change including variability in the focal areas in which the GEF works”
Outcome 1: Adaptive capacity of communities is enhanced through projects that allow communities to reduce their vulnerability to impacts of future climate change hazards
Outcome 2: National policies and programmes are adopted to promote replication of best practices derived from CBA projects
Outcome 3: Lessons learned from the CBA programme are leveraged, leading to innovation in adapting to climate change including variability
14

Outcome 1 focuses on the development of CBA programmes in the ten pilot countries
Outcome 1: Adaptive capacity of communities is enhanced through projects that allow communities to reduce their vulnerability to impacts of future climate change hazards
• Output 1.1: Development of a CBA Country Programme Strategy
• Output 1.2: NGOs/CBOs with capacity to design and support implementation of CBA projects
• Output 1.3: Development of a portfolio of CBA projects
15

Outcome 2 focuses on using lessons from CBA best practices to inform national policy
Outcome 2: National policies and programmes are adopted to promote replication of best practices derived from CBA projects
Output 2.1: Legislation, policies, or programmes altered based on lessons learned from CBA projects in each country
Output 2.2: Lessons from community-based adaptation compiled and disseminated to national stakeholders
16
CBA Inception Workshop

Outcome 3 focuses on promoting CBA best practice globally
Outcome 3: Lessons learned from the CBA programme are leveraged, leading to innovation in adapting to climate change including variability
Output 3.1: Best practices and lessons disseminated beyond CBA countries
Output 3.2: Guidance documents for GEF and others on CBA programming and project support produced
Output 3.3: Website & global database of CBA projects completed

CBA country programmes should be focused for maximum impact and lesson learning
CBA projects will choose one or two regions to focus on, and choose one or two sectors/adaptation thematic areas on which to concentrate.
Projects will not be identical, but will be complimentary. This will lead to coherent lessons and effective policy impact.
These choices will be made in consultation with a wide range of stakeholders, as part of the development of the CBA Country programme strategy
18

CBA projects will be developed using mechanisms similar to SGP projects
CBA projects, like SGP projects, will have:
•Project concepts•Planning grants (<$2,000)
• Planning grants will support detailed baseline and M&E•Full proposals•Similar scale (<$50,000)•Projects will be screened & recommended through the NSC (NCC), with
oversight from UNDP HQ and the GEF•Project progress reporting requirements, and final reporting requirements•Be entered into the SGP database
Unlike regular SGP projects, CBA projects will:•Measure adaptive capacity AND global environmental benefits•Be guided by a CBA-specific country programme strategy
