6. Presentation Title6

7. Objective:
• to pilot and demonstrate approaches for integration of
climate risk and resilience into development policies and
planning;
• to strengthen capacities at the national levels to integrate
climate resilience into development planning;
• to scale-up and leverage climate resilient investment,
building upon other ongoing initiatives; and
• to enable learning-by-doing and sharing of lessons at the
country, regional and global levels.
Two-phase programmatic approach:
Phase 1: support countries to develop a “Strategic Program for Climate Resilience”, and
Phase 2 : provides additional funding to put the plan into action and pilot innovative public and
private sector solutions to pressing climate-related risks
Pilot Program Climate Resilience (PPCR)

8. PPCR COUNTRIES and REGIONAL PROGRAMS
• Original 18 pilot countries and 2 regional programs completed SPCRs and in
different stages of implementation
• 10 new pilots also completed SPCR preparation
• 64 projects approved for implementation for a total funding envelope of more
than $1 billion

9. What is a programmatic approach?

10. Purpose of the evaluation:
▪ Understand the concept of the CIF programmatic approach and how it has
been applied, and assess outcomes from its use.
▪ Inform enhancements to the programmatic approach in CIF recipient countries
and identify good practice examples and lessons learned for the benefit of
other climate finance mechanisms.
Context :
▪ The CIF’s programmatic approach is often cited as one of its distinctive
features and comparative advantages
▪ The programmatic approach was one of the original core design elements of
the CIF and remains its main modality of delivery in all four of its programs
CIF Programmatic Approach evaluations

11. Key features of the CIF programmatic approach
• A country investment plan that is:
• Developed through country government leadership
• Informed by multi-stakeholder consultation (Government, CSOs, Private Sector, Academia,
communities, etc.)
• Supported by MDB coordination
• Associated with a scaled up, predictable, and flexible resource envelope
• Comprised of strategically linked investments unified by a transformative vision
• Other features vary by CIF program:
Resilience Forests Energy Access
Supported by readiness activities (e.g., policy reform,
capacity building, analysis, awareness raising)
✓ ✓ ✓
Inclusive of cross-project knowledge and learning activities ✓ ✓ ✓
Coordinated by a government institutional structure (“country
coordination mechanism”)
✓ ✓ ✓
Reviewed annually or biannually by stakeholders ✓ ✓ ✓
Monitored annually at the country program level ✓ ✓

12. Key Findings
Overall, the CIF’s programmatic approach—through the
investment planning process—made a substantial contribution to
ensuring that programs were designed to support
transformational change
1.The use of the CIF’s programmatic approach offered significant
advantages in the investment planning phase compare to a project
by project approach:
▪ An organized and often inclusive way to prioritize
investments.
▪ A successful platform for MDBs for joint programming and
division of labor.
▪ Resource predictability.
▪ An opportunity to link strategic planning with resources.

13. These advantages contributed to:
• Increased ownership and climate change awareness within
governments.
• Facilitating the design of innovative projects.
• Initiating cross-sectoral dialogue,
• Integrating climate resilience into development plans and sector
strategies, building institutional capacity, and raising public awareness
on climate change.
2. The programmatic approach has been less evident in the project
implementation phase, with important differences across programs. In
PPCR, the programmatic approach was more fully sustained during
project implementation owing to program-level monitoring and
reporting requirements and an emphasis on country coordination
mechanisms.
Key Findings (Cont.’)

14. Key Findings (Cont.’)
3. Leadership and capacity among government partners and
MDBs to apply the programmatic approach improves the effectiveness
of the approach.
4. Effective country coordination mechanisms were found to be
the central factor for facilitating and sustaining a programmatic
approach, in IP/ SPCR preparation and project implementation.
5. Programmatic approach is more effective when aligned and
integrated with national priority efforts.
6. Where the programmatic approach was supported through clear
guidance, mechanisms, and resources, programmatic effectiveness
was stronger.
