Sequencing for success: The essentials of locally led adaptation: Zambia

Sequencing for Success brief provides key messages for how donors, policymakers, and adaptation practitioners can better design and support effective and equitable adaptation. These lessons from Zambia are valuable and could be considered in other country contexts as well.

The learning event helped to build on and expand the impact of the Locally-led Adaptation Pilot (LLAP) by:

• Giving community members an opportunity to directly share their experiences from the LLAP;
• Providing a forum to share findings from the LLAP with leading adaptation professionals both from Zambia and internationally;
• Creating a space for co-learning and collaboration where partners were invited to share their own experiences in adaptation so that the event was participatory rather than CARE-focused;
• Develop policy recommendations that have greater weight urgency due to the buy-in and collaboration from workshop participants.
