Vietnam Climate Change NGOs Partnership The Vietnam Climate Change NGOs Partnership initiative provides Community-based Climate Change Action Grants to support community-based adaptation and mitigation activities in developing countries. Grants are available for Australian and international NGOs to work with local organisations to scale up current successful community-based climate change activities or to build a climate change component into existing community development activities in the Pacific and South East Asia. The grants fall into two main categories: a) 	Community-based adaptation grants, which will help build the resilience of communities to the impacts of climate change; and b) 	Community-based mitigation grants, which will help communities reduce or avoid greenhouse gas emissions, while also addressing key development priorities. The total value of this initiative is $15.0 million over 2 years, starting 2011-12.
