Communities empowered to call for funding help

In Samoa, communities are being encouraged to apply for funding under a Small Grant Scheme, to implement small-scale climate change adaptation initiatives and programs. The Scheme, via the Adaptation Fund, has a competitive nature with each proposal assessed on its relevance to the community priorities. An important objective of the workshops being held is to raise awareness of the Adaptation Fund’s main objectives as well as to provide training in writing a successful proposal.
