Financing mechanism for local adaptation [local climate adaptive living facility - local]

Brief summary of the problem statement and climate rationale, objective and selected implementation approach, including the executing entity(ies) and other implementing partners, including who will be implementing the measures to manage the environmental and social risks.

Populations in northern Benin are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their dependence on natural resources and their lack of resources. The programme aims to strengthen the climate resilience of local communities and economies by improving the capacity of local governments to access and use financing for adaptation investments, and to establish an internationally recognized performance-based climate finance transfer mechanism (LoCAL). It will be implemented by SP/CONAFIL and UNCDF and aims at a gradual expansion to 30 communes.
