Community-based Adaptation Activity Grants – International Climate Change Adaptation Initiative

Community-based Adaptation Activity Grants – International Climate Change Adaptation Initiative

The Australian Government is calling for applications from Australian and international non-government organisations (NGOs) to work with local organisations to scale up current successful community-based adaptation activities or to build an adaptation component onto existing community-based activities in the Pacific region, including East Timor. 

The objective of the Community-based Adaptation Activity Grants is to increase the resilience of communities in the region to the unavoidable impacts of climate change.

One of the guiding principles for proposed activities is that they ensure that the specific needs of men, women and children are addressed and that opportunities exist for women to participate as decision makers in determining objectives and types of activities.

Applications are due on 26th February 2010.

Please visit AusAid for further information and application guidelines.
