Implementation of the Strategic Program for Climate Resilience - Pacific Region: Final Report
Consultants' reports describe activities by a consultant or group of consultants related to preparing a technical assistance (TA) project. This document dated July 2017 is provided for the ADB regional project 46449-001.
The TA had two main outputs: (i) climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR) mainstreamed in national and local development policies and plans, and (ii) Pacific developing member countries' (DMCs) capacity to respond to climate change built and supported. The TA would focus on priority sectors (food security and infrastructure) of selected Pacific DMCs, and contribute to attaining their sustainable development aspirations. It would provide countries with cost-effective support best offered on a regional basis, and will complement ongoing CCA and DRR initiatives of other development partners and PPCR national track countries.
This final report is structured as follows.
- Part A provides background information that describes how the TA design evolved from the Climate Investment Funds (CIF)-approved concept paper through to the ADB project document and the process involved in the lead up to and finalisation of the design and monitoring framework [DMF] (blueprint for implementation) agreed to at the inception meeting 21-22 January 2014.
- Part B reports on the implementation of the TA against its intended outcomes and outputs as set out in the DMF.
- Part C provides the summary financial report of the project as at 31 July 2017.
- Part D addresses the lessons learned from the key administrative, financial and technical issues that arose during the implementation of the project.
- Part E provides a concluding commentary and sustainability of the work progressed.
