Our approach

Our approach

Five work packages connect policy, financial services, investment and locally led adaptation. Gender equity and social inclusion and environmental and social safeguards run through all five.

How ICCAP fits together

Funded byInternational Climate Initiative (IKI)

ICCAP

Inclusive Climate Finance for Vulnerable Communities in the Asia Pacific

Led by SEI, implemented with ADA, APRACA

Overarching outcomeMore public and private climate finance reaching climate-vulnerable communities and marginalised groups

The five work packages

WP1 · Policy analysis, cooperation and engagement

Lead APRACA. ICCAP maps stakeholders, analyses policy and regulatory gaps, and brings policymakers and practitioners together through national and regional workshops and dialogues. This work supports the adoption of inclusive green finance policies.

WP2 · Green financial portfolios

Lead ADA. ICCAP aims to support 14 financial service providers with technical assistance, market research, and product design and pilots. This work helps providers develop green products around their clients’ needs, classify their green portfolios and prepare for investment while applying the Client Protection Principles.

WP3 · Mobilising adaptation finance

Lead SEI. ICCAP works with investors, donors and local financial service providers to mobilise adaptation finance for climate-vulnerable communities across its six partner countries.

WP4 · Co-creation for innovation and evidence synthesis

Lead SEI. Six national Multi-Stakeholder Action Labs bring communities, public authorities, researchers and businesses together to co-design locally relevant adaptation solutions. The labs track vulnerability and share evidence with policymakers, financial service providers and investors.

WP5 · Gender equity and social inclusion

Lead SEI. ICCAP applies intersectional gender analysis, promotes gender-balanced representation and supports pilots that address structural barriers. The programme builds GESI capacity among financial service providers, consortium staff and policymakers, and co-designs products with people facing barriers to finance.
