PPCR Policies and Planning

The Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR) was established in 2008 to support emerging approaches in developing countries and regions that aim to build their resilience to the impacts of climate change. To effectively address these issues, developing countries need to include climate adaptation objectives in policy-making processes; prepare institutional responses; and develop strategies and frameworks to manage climate risks and optimize their adaptive capacity at multiple levels.

PPCR has helped shepherd this process through its country-led and programmatic approach. The program tracks progress related to policy support through a program-level indicator that captures how much PPCR supports direct actions to integrate climate change and climate considerations into policy- and planning-related documents and complements the program’s high-level objective to mainstream climate change in country planning. Results are measured at the national, sectoral, and local levels with disaggregated results at each level.

This Results Deep Dive takes a closer look at the nature of PPCR’s national, sectoral, and local policy support. It examines how projects’ results are distributed across sectors and regions and highlights prominent examples of outcomes in these areas. The analysis draws on cumulative targets and results from 2016-2022, as reported by the multilateral development banks (MDBs) and pilot countries implementing PPCR.
