Climate Change Resilient Development (CCRD)

Climate Change Resilient Development (CCRD) is a global, four-year project in support of USAIDs Global Climate Change Office.

CCRD's climate adaptation-focused programs operate in Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Employing a strategic development first" framework, CCRD delivers guidance, technical assistance, and capacity building to USAID Missions and Bureaus, national governments, and local communities around the world to integrate climate change concerns into development policy, planning, and implementation.

CCRD also explores emerging issues in climate adaptation by developing innovative programs, such as the Climate Services Partnership (CSP), the High Mountains Adaptation Partnership (HiMAP), the Climate Resilient Infrastructure Services program (CRIS), and support for the preparation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs).

CCRD is implemented by Engility/IRG and a consortium of private contractors, NGOs, and universities.
