Strategic NationalProgram Support, aiming to strengthen the national institutional and financial framework for climate resilience, by (a) providing institutional support to the national climate change program; and (b) strengthening climate information. 2. Support to ParticipatoryAdaptation, through strengthening of the adaptive capacity of vulnerable rural communities in the Barotse sub-basin. 3. Pilot Participatory Adaptation, through the funding of actual participatory adaptation investments in the Barotse sub-basin, including (a) community adaptation sub-grants; (b) establishment and operation of an adaptation contingency fund; and (c) rehabilitation and strengthened management of traditional canals.
