About PPCR

The Pilot Program for Climate Resilience (PPCR), approved in November 2008, was the first program developed and operational under the Strategic Climate Fund (SCF), which is one of two funds within the design of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF).
The PPCR aims to pilot and demonstrate ways in which climate risk and resilience may be integrated into core development planning and implementation. In this way, the PPCR provides incentives for scaled-up action and initiates transformational change.
The pilot programs and projects implemented under the PPCR are country-led, build on National Adaptation Programs of Action (NAPA) and other relevant country studies and strategies. They are strategically aligned with other donor funded activities to provide financing for projects that will produce experience and knowledge useful to designing scaled-up adaptation measures.

PPCR in Tajikistan

We believe that the Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience (PPCR) offers a unique opportunity to shift from business as usual to a climate resilient development path by piloting approaches to integrate climate risks in development planning.
The PPCR in Tajikistan is composed of two Phases. Phase 1, approved in June 2010 and now in early implementation, encompasses six technical assistance activities to strengthen Tajikistan‘s capacity and analytical evidence base and help refine needed investments included under Phase 2. This document, the Strategic Programme for Climate Resilience (SPCR), summarizes the country driven strategic approach to climate resilience, and defines the underlying investment program for PPCR support. The full SPCR was approved by the PPCR sub-committee on November 10, 2010, and this revised version includes clarifications requested by the sub-committee.
