Governing for resilience : an annex to the USAID climate-resilient development framework

This report demonstrates how to incorporate governance into climate-resilient development to avoid undermining goals through insufficient enforcement of regulations, inadequate communication with key stakeholders, or poor coordination across government agencies. It draws on real-world examples from countries such as Ethiopia, Uganda, Mozambique, Bhutan, Trinidad, Tobago, the Cayman Islands, Jordan, Jamaica, Namibia, Pakistan, Panama, and the Philippines. Content includes a list of suggested resources for further reading and information on how to consider property rights and resource tenure systems within the context of climate-resilient development. Appendices provide a set of practical tools for development practitioners, including sets of sample questions that map to the stages of USAID"s climate-resilient development framework, resources for governance assessments, and approaches to improving governance.
