Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP) Forum 2023

28 February 2023 to 01 March 2023

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 first CRPP Partnership Forum brought together community leaders, government officials, leading academics, think tanks, financing institutions, and global climate funds to discuss - what role can poverty reduction programs play in building climate resilience?

The CRPP was operationalized through the Community Resilience Financing Partnership Facility (CRFPF) and includes a multidonor trust fund administered by ADB and supported by the Government of the United Kingdom, the Nordic Development Fund, and the French Development Agency.
