Submission Tips and Statistics

The Adaptation Fund has received nearly 40 conceptual and full project proposals to date, with an average funding request of nearly US$7 million. As of January 2012, 17 projects had been approved to receive funding. The Secretariat, which assists the Adaptation Fund Board in reviewing proposals, has produced a detailed analysis of these proposal submissions.

Some tips for creating a successful proposal are among the findings in the analysis:

→ Explain how the project is truly an adaptation project, as opposed to a "business as usual" development project;

→ Show that climate change is the primary cause of the problem that the project will address;

→ Offer adaptation measures that are suitable and adequate for addressing the identified climate threats;

→ Meet the Fund's requirements for cost effectiveness;

→ Specify the social, economic and environmental benefits of the project or programme.
