LoGIC project empowers communities, local governments, and marginalized groups to develop and fund solutions to climate change challenges.

PBCRG stands for Performance-Based Climate Resilience Grant. It’s a financial mechanism designed to help local governments adapt to climate change. The specific purpose of the PBCRG is to support the local governments in funding interventions that protect communities from climate change and disasters, focusing on essential infrastructure and services for the poor.

PBCRGs incentivize local governments to invest in climate resilience by providing additional financial support for taking concrete actions to protect their communities from climate change impacts. These funds are used for critical infrastructure and essential services benefiting vulnerable populations.

PBCRG schemes are typically selected based on a rigorous process that involves multiple criteria and stakeholders. Generally, climate vulnerability, investment menu from the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) local capacity, local adaptation plan of action (LAPA), aligned with national priorities, cost effectiveness etc. However, the specific details vary country wise.

There are major 12 types of Infrastructures currently facilitated (implemented by LGIs) by the LoGIC Project, which are-

• Surface water and/or rainwater treatment and supply plant
• Flood proof tubewells
• Solar-powered irrigation facility
• Multi-purpose sheds for protection against flood and lightning strikes
• Flood protection wall/guide wall
• Plantation for slope protection
• Construction/repairing of roads, and bridges for improved accessibility to critical facilities (e.g. flood/cyclone shelter)
• Construction of culverts and drains to reduce water-logging
• Refurbishment of flood and cyclone shelters
• Flood-tolerant latrine complex
• Safety equipment for fishermen
• Bio-floc fisheries system

CCA/DRR refers to Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction, encompassing strategies and actions that help communities prepare for, mitigate, and recover from the impacts of climate change and natural disasters.

Climate resilience refers to the capacity of vulnerable communities to anticipate, endure, and recover from the impacts of climate change while sustaining essential functions.

LLA, or Locally Led Adaptation, empowers communities to create, execute, and oversee climate adaptation strategies tailored to their specific needs, knowledge, and priorities.

LGIs stands for Local Government Institutions, which are locally elected bodies responsible for governance, development, and service delivery at the community level.

LoGIC helps climate vulnerable community especially women to increase their household income by giving them small grants and training to develop green businesses.

LoGIC’s Climate Resilience Fund (CRF) empowers climate vulnerable women identified through Climate Risk Assessment (CRA) to manage their own businesses and accounts with project support. They reinvest grant money to grow the business and use part of their profits for family needs. Unlike loans with high interest rates from other agencies, CRF funds don’t require repayment, reducing financial stress. Women also receive training on climate risks to improve their business planning.

A business plan is a livelihood plan to ensure financial sustainability climate change resilience/adaptation.
