Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP) Partnership Forum 2025 25 to 26 February 2025 Thailand 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 2025 focused on urban resilience and financial inclusion. The CRPP is operationalized through the Community Resilience Financing Partnership Facility (CRFPF) and includes a multidonor trust fund and investment fund administered by ADB and supported by the French Development Agency, Green Climate Fund, Nordic Development Fund, and the Government of the United Kingdom.
