The development objective of the Community Climate Change Project for Bangladesh is to enhance the capacity of selected communities to increase their resilience to the impacts of climate change. The project has three components. The first component is community climate change fund. This component will establish a US$10.40 million fund to finance community-based climate change adaptation projects implemented with the assistance of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs). The fund will be managed by Palli Karma-Sahayak Foundation (PKSF) through a separate Project Management Unit (PMU), to be set up and supported (including staffing, equipment, and operation costs) under component three. The second component is knowledge management, monitoring and evaluation (M and E), and capacity building. This component will promote the sharing of lessons on best practices among the participating NGOs, as well as in the wider NGO community and in regional and global forums. This component will also support a structured learning process of capturing lessons and incorporating best practices into the design and implementation of community-based interventions, including the preparation of a toolkit and guidelines, and visits to adaptation activities in different vulnerable zones. Technical assistance will be provided to develop options for institutionalizing lessons learned. This component will also (a) build the capacity of NGOs to prepare eligible community-based climate change adaptation sub-project proposals; (b) operationalize an M and E system to ensure effective monitoring of project outcomes at the project and community levels; and to enable an independent third party monitoring and impact evaluation of financial system performance, and a comprehensive review and evaluation of outcomes at project completion; and (c) establish a grievance redress system to handle any issues raised by stakeholders about the implementation of the project or any sub-project. The third component is project management. This component will finance technical assistance to: (a) establish a PMU within PKSF to manage the project and monitor the implementation of sub-projects. It will also finance the operating costs of the fund, including equipment, financial management, procurement, technical assistance, and administrative expenses; and (b) build the technical capacity of PKSF to appraise sub-project proposals submitted by NGOs; and to operationalize the procedures for fund management outlined in the operational manual.
