Established in August 2021, the Community Resilience Financing Partnership Facility (CRFPF) provides technical assistance and grant support to ADB's developing member countries in scaling up climate adaptation investments that explicitly address the nexus of climate, gender and poverty. The CRFPF is designed for implementation over a 10-year period, providing a long-term commitment for building resilience.
Support for project preparation provided by CRFPF includes:
- Project preparation for pro-poor investments that promote community-led adaptation
- Capacity building of national and local institutions to identify, develop and implement community-led adaptation measures as part of poverty reduction investments
All Developing Member Countries (DMCs) are eligible for support from the fund. However, priority may be given based on financing partner priorities. Currently, priority DMCs are Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, and Nepal.
The following eligibility criteria will be applied for transaction technical assistance (TRTA) that would support the project preparation for sovereign and non-sovereign projects:
- The TRTA must clearly set out the risks and vulnerabilities for men and women under current and future conditions of climate change that the ensuing project aims to address in the context of poverty reduction, by investments, capacity building, and/or policy advice and thereby contribute to the CRFPF outcome. [Required]
- Prioritization will be given to TRTAs that support the preparation of projects aiming to address barriers related to scaling up climate adaptation solutions at the community level. [Desired]
- The TRTA must demonstrate that the ensuing project is aligned with national or climate priorities as reflected in NDCs, NAPs, and/or national or local disaster risk reduction plans. [Required]
- The TRTA must demonstrate how it will engage with national and local stakeholders in developing the project. [Required]
