UNCDF- Decentralised climate investment The project is implemented through an agrement with UN-Tanzania,The Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) Facility designed and hosted by the UN Capital Development Fund serves as a mechanism to integrate climate change adaptation into local governments’ planning and budgeting systems, increase awareness of and response to climate change at the local level, and increase the amount of finance available to local governments for climate change adaptation. LoCAL combines performance-based climate resilience grants (PBCRGs), which ensure programming and verification of climate change expenditures at the local level, with technical and capacity-building support. It is implemented at the local government level, under the leadership of the President’s Office-Regional Administration and Local Government (PO-RALG), in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance and Planning (MoFP) and Vice President’s Office (VPO), with financial support from the EU and the Government of Sweden. The project will contribute to the strengthening of resilience in the selected districts and to the integration of climate change concerns with the recipient countries’ development objectives through capacity development at local government authorities level.The pilot phase implementation will potentially benefit more than 800,000 people, particularly women. Following the pilot phase, LoCAL is expected to be scaled-up to other districts.
