Community Resilience Financing Partnership Facility
Year Established
2021
Cumulative Contributions Committed
$65.2 million
The Community Resilience Financing Partnership Facility (CRFPF) operationalizes the Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP), a regional program developed by ADB in collaboration with the International Institute for Environment and Development and Huairou Commission.
The CRPP aims to strengthen climate resilience of countries and communities in the Asia and Pacific region by scaling up climate adaptation measures, especially at the community level, that explicitly address the nexus of climate, gender, and poverty. The CRFPF is designed for implementation over a 10-year period from 2021 to 2031.
In November 2023, ADB approved the establishment of the new CRPP Investment Fund (CRPPIF), which will provide loans and grants to support the implementation of local adaptation measures targeting poor and vulnerable populations in seven priority developing member countries: Cambodia, Indonesia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and Vanuatu. The CRPPIF focuses on the efficient rollout of local adaptation measures through downstream investment projects. At COP28 held in December 2023, ADB and the Green Climate Fund signed the latter’s $120 million contribution to the CRPPIF.
Two technical notes were published under the program in 2023. Scaling Up Local Adaptation Measures through Climate-Responsive Decentralization Processes discusses the rationale behind why decentralization presents an opportunity for transformational adaptation and identifies some key areas where the CRPP can support building resilience to climate change at the local level. Principles to Guide Investment in Support of Community Resilience presents five principles to guide the identification and design of investments promoted by the CRPP to achieve the program’s goals.
