4. BRACED
and
National
Adaptation
Planning
BRACED reviewed the progress of National
Adaptation Planning support in 20 vulnerable
countries.
The review highlighted an urgent need to:
1. Stimulate climate action through system-based
solutions, including effective mainstreaming of NAP
into different sector policies, strategies and actions
plans;
2. Provide greater support in moving from planning to
implementation of NAPs;
3. Address the large financing gap in implementing
NAPs;
4. Address the disconnect between national and sub-
national results frameworks, with greater focus on
effective monitoring and evaluation;
5. Ensure feedback loops are in place, especially
regarding the acquisition of quality climate
information, and increase strategic backstop support.

5. 5
Stimulate Climate Action
Effective mainstreaming requires resilience programmes to engage with stakeholders at the
appropriate level (national or regional), but also interact ‘with power dynamics and legal structures’
BRACED in action:
PRESENCES, NIGER
BRACED helped revise
Community
Development Plans
(PDCs) and integrate
climate change, gender
and security within them.
This inspired other
municipalities to revise
their own PDCs.

6. 6
BRACED in
action:
MYANMAR
ALLIANCE
The BRACED
Myanmar Alliance
project employs
community action
planning to
identify resilience
interventions and
coordinate with
the local
government.
Discussions with
local groups help
explain changes
at local level, and
generate
evidence that was
mixed with formal
economic
modeling to
perform cost-
benefit analyses.
BRACED in action: BRES, BURKINA FASO
Five BRACED projects, on changing farming practices, reported
improved adaptive capacity for women, through increased control in
decision-making.The Anukulan initiative reported a 3.3% increase of
women empowered in agriculture between the baseline and the third
year of project.

7. DCF approach
to addressing
the
Financing
Gap
• Increasing technical capacity in sub-national
governments and communities is crucial to
support project design and implementation, as
well as to facilitate equitable and effective use of
climate finance.
• Localising climate finance has the potential to
increase transparency and accountability in
adaptation governance and funding through new
forms of collaboration between government and
citizens.
• Participation tools and monitoring by
community-based organisations are critical in
this regard and can help ensure local priorities
are taken into account.
• Funding for climate resilience needs to adapt to
local social structures and relationships.

8. 8
BRACED in action:
Decentralised Climate
Funds (DCF), Senegal and
Mali
In Senegal, DCF is working
the national government to
assist sub-national
government agencies to
gain access to and manage
climate finance. It links local
climate adaptation funds
with sustainable sources of
funding that can support
local investments well
beyond the project life.
BRACED in action:
PROGRESS, Uganda and
Kenya
The project, on building
resilient governance,
markets and social
systems, set up a scheme
for informal financial
services as formal
arrangements did not suit
the local community.

9. Risk financing
approach to
addressing the
finance gap
Resilience projects have a role to play in:
• Generating a better understanding of local
needs and;
• Incentivising product development and
delivery in partnership with financial service
providers and governments
Layering various types of risk financing
instruments at different scales - including
financial services such as savings, credit,
transfers and insurance as well as public
safety nets backed by emergency funds, risk
pools or contingent finance - can support the
resilience of households and small businesses
by addressing risks of different nature,
frequency and intensity.

10. 10
BRACED in action: MAR (Market Approaches to Resilience), Ethiopia
MAR is working to increase the resilience of communities through different market opportunities
such as innovative livestock insurance, mobile banking, increasing the reach of micro-finance
institutions, and payment for ecosystem services
