New Adaptation Fund NGO Newsletter Out: AF’s Added Value Post-Paris, Field Project Updates and Other Features, Edition No. 9, September 2015

Stories Include:

• The Adaptation Fund’s provision of funding for small-scale concrete replicable and scalable adaptation projects to the most vulnerable communities in developing countries, along with its innovative direct access modality enhancing country ownership of projects, position the AF with a clear role in the climate finance landscape.  “We have the expertise on the ground to protect the environment and the livelihoods of the most vulnerable at the same time,” writes Adaptation Fund Board secretariat Manager Marcia Levaggi.
• A Report of the 25^th Meeting of the AF;  Kick-off of the AF’s Regional Hub in East Africa; and Project Features on Tanzania, Honduras and Senegal – the latter which was selected as a lighthouse project of the UN “Momentum for Change Initiative” in 2012 for its effectiveness in adapting to coastal erosion.
