Appendix A: Additional Information on the Sources Reviewed

In the search for locally led examples to enhance community resilience, the authors reviewed over 70 evaluation reports, program and project reports, and briefings of community-centered interventions, funded by global, national, and local climate funds, including government funders and mechanisms that aid in the devolution and decentralization of financing. These sources were complemented by more than 20 relevant peer-reviewed articles on best approaches for monitoring adaptation, and on the limitations of climate finance for locally led resilience. Partners of the Global Commission on Adaptation’s Locally Led Action Track also suggested materials to consult.

Table A1 shows the number of projects and sources (by funder or implementing entity) examined in the literature review. Note that some sources originate from the same organization; for example, the authors consulted multiple documents by IIED and BRACED. Although the authors took care to avoid double-counting projects, it is possible that a small number of projects are repeating. Only the sources cited for this paper are in the References (i.e. not all of the 71 listed in the following table).
