The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has developed the Community Resilience Partnership Program (CRPP), which aims to scale up climate adaptation measures at the local level that address the root causes of vulnerability in order to facilitate transformational changes to the lives, livelihoods, and well-being of poor and vulnerable populations in Asia and the Pacific.
This publication produced under CRPP explores how decentralized governance provides opportunities to improve delivery of public goods and services needed for resilience building and give poor and vulnerable people a voice in identifying and implementing adaptation measures. It suggests how CRPP could help ensure that decentralization builds resilience at the local level.
