Climate, Adaptation and Resilience (CLARE) Accountable Grant CLARE is a portfolio of programmes to enable socially inclusive and sustainable action to build resilience and adapt to climate change and natural hazards. As part of this portfolio, an accountable grant was established with South South North to deliver the Adaptation Research Alliance and the Climate Mainstreaming facility (see sibliing)
Voices for Just Climate Action SSN Bolivia The Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) Programme is being implemented in 7 countries, including Bolivia. In VCA Bolivia, in collaboration with VCA Paraguay, the  programme is being implemented in the Pantanal and Chaco ecoregions, focusing on the transboundary region between Paraguay and Bolivia. The landscape contains many of the headwaters of the La Plata Basin, the second-largest basin in South America and one of the ten most threatened in the world. This region has been selected due to its climate and conservation importance and the strong presence and local networks of Alliance members. The programme aims to create an impact towards reducing people’s exposure to climate change stresses, shocks and variability by maintaining large protected areas, reforestation and restoration.  Good and greater forest coverage and other relevant ecosystems are natural conditions to reduce exposure to high temperatures, droughts, etc. so disasters like wildfires will be less destructive.

The programme will leverage previous work in the regions but also focus on new innovations and partnerships that are central to this Alliance, for example, by linking to urban communities (including urban poor) and youth/feminist activists within and beyond the landscape, linking local success stories to influence the national policy level, and through innovative multimedia and storytelling strategies. In addition, the Alliance will build coalitions that bring together rural and urban civil society including indigenous people, women and youth to amplify their voices and influence key policy issues related to climate change; and link these coalitions to other social movements. As a VCA Alliance member, SSN brings extensive experience and expertise on knowledge and partnership brokering for climate-compatible development, and on building unique relationships with decision-makers in various contexts. Through the Alliance, SSN aims to support the generation, dissemination, and brokering of information, building the capability of partners to enable them to respond innovatively to the challenges and opportunities that climate change presents. Knowledge intermediaries and knowledge translators are roles that we often refer to as part of ‘Knowledge Management’ and are key roles that SSN provides in the VCA programme. Knowledge brokering, on the other hand, includes activities by knowledge/process brokers and innovation brokers, focusing on networks, relationship-building, and systemic change through knowledge co-production.
Climate Mainstreaming Facility (CMF) The CMF is committed to delivering technical assistance (TA) to FCDO offices, teams and departments via the existing delivery model of the CMF. To achieve this goal, SSN has continued the delivery of TA under the CMF with funding made available by FCDO.  The CMF continues to provide TA with an amendment to prioritise support for the Paris alignment of new bilateral programme business cases resulting from the business planning stage while continuing mainstreaming support. 


The context of FCDO's demand for TA justifies the extension of the CMF. Given the programme cycle and the requirement of offices to consider their bilateral programming through the lens of mainstreaming climate and nature to align with the Paris Agreement, there is a strong argument for the continued delivery of TA by the CMF. The CMF will prioritise supporting Paris alignment activities as guided by the Climate and Environment Programme Operating Framework (PrOF) to deliver FCDO's ambition to ensure that every Business Case (BC) from the planning round complies with PrOF Rule 5. SouthSouthNorth hosts FCDO’s Climate Mainstreaming Facility (CMF).

Enhancing the impact of the Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) programme through the the Coordination, Capacity Development and Knowledge Exchange (CCKE) Unit - FCFA Accountable Grant The Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) programme (IATI identifier GB-1-203835-102), and the FCFA Accountable Grant programme (IATI identifier GB-1-203835-107) are both coordinated and enhanced through a central hub. The Coordination, Capacity Development and Knowledge Exchange (CCKE) unit performs several functions to increase the overall impact of the FCFA programme, including the following: coordinating activities to promote learning and knowledge exchange between research partners including workshops, conferences, webinars, and meetings; coordinating and compiling reporting to the donors and the annual review of the programme; gap filling research was commissioned as the programme progressed and new research questions emerged; research and travel grants were issued and managed for early career researchers from the FCFA research consortia through the FCFA Innovation and Mobility Fund; generating and disseminating content to communicate FCFA work and key research messages to wider audiences through the FCFA website, Twitter account, news stories, press releases, briefs, and other publications. In February 2019 the Coordination Capacity Development and Knowledge Exchange (CCKE) Unit, hosted by SouthSouthNorth (SSN) received a costed extension as one of three activities part of the FCFA Accountable Grant (AG), funded by the UK Department for International Development (DfID), now the UK Government's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO). The costed extension was granted to maximise the impact and legacy of the FCFA programme and to implement key components of work that emerged during the FCFA programme. The continuation of the CCKE unit under the Accountable Grant programme (IATI identifier GB-1-203835-107) is a key activity and is focused on leveraging the value of DfID’s (now FCDO's) initial investment in FCFA in order to inform a wider African research agenda whilst bringing new climate information to bear on strategic and operational developmental decisions in Africa. Due to the qualitative nature of this activity, all reporting is done through the submission of quarterly reports, rather than using IATI's quantitative submissions.
LaunchPAD for a Climate Model Evaluation Hub for Africa - Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) Accountable Grant The Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) programme has made substantial progress in understanding the African climate and has developed methodologies to evaluate the regional climate processes and impact-relevant indices which matter locally. As part of the FCFA Accountable Grant funded by the UK Government's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), previously referred to as the Department for International Development (DfID) (IATI identifier GB-1-203835-107), the LaunchPAD project was initiated as one of the three key outputs to continue the legacy of the broader FCFA programme (IATI identifier GB-1-203835-102). The LaunchPAD is the first phase of the Climate Model Evaluation Hub for Africa and has been established to build upon the novel science findings and methods to extend the work to more regions and systems, and to embed tools into automated software that will fast-track the understanding of how well climate models simulate climate dynamics in African regions. The establishment of the Hub was made possible by building on existing FCFA research networks through researchers at the University of Oxford, University of Yaounde I, University of Nairobi, University of Cape Town, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, and the Met Office, showcasing the strong legacy and importance of FCFA partnerships between British and African research institutions. SouthSouthNorth, as the holder of the Accountable Grant, oversees the management the LaunchPAD. Oxford University is the lead implementing partner, contracting individuals from other institutions to work on the project.

Climate Mainstreaming Facility (CMF) supporting FCDO departments to strengthen climate mainstreaming and the integration of International Climate Finance (ICF) - Future Climate for Africa (FCFA) Accountable Grant As part of the FCFA Accountable Grant funded by the UK Government's Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), previously referred to as the Department for International Development (DfID) (IATI identifier GB-1-203835-107), the Climate Mainstreaming Facility (CMF) was initiated to offer support to FCDO (previously DfID) country offices, regional and central departments to strengthen climate mainstreaming and the integration of International Climate Finance (ICF) in their portfolios. The facility aims to improve the uptake of climate information and climate risk analysis and adaptation assessment, including for integration, and enhance compliance with the DfID Smart Guide on Climate and Environment. FCDO country offices and departments access support by submitting a Request for Service (RfS) to the FCDO Facility Executive Committee (FEC). Once the FEC has approved the RfS, the Facility Management Team (FMT), allocate an appropriate expert to respond to the request. SouthSouthNorth, through the Coordination, Capacity Development and Knowledge Exchange (CCKE) unit, hosts FCFA’s Climate Mainstreaming Facility (CMF).

Voices for Just Climate Action SSN Kenya The Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) Programme is being implemented in 7 countries, including Kenya. In VCA Kenya, the programme envisions a transformation in the level of engagement between civil society and government. Civil society and individuals will be enabled, and will effectively, participate in climate change discourses, stimulate public debate at local and national levels, push for prioritisation of climate responsive investments, monitor climate change finance at their local level, and lobby for implementation of government commitments to ensure climate change impacts are included in planning and budgeted for. It is envisaged that the government – both at county and national level - will be more open and will meaningfully engage with CSOs and citizens in the development, and implementation, of policies and projects and move from commitment to action.

The programme aims to work with groups specifically targeting those that, due to historical, societal and economic reasons, have been and continue to be marginalised from the climate processes. They include but are not limited to, youth and women-led groups, IPs, CSOs (CBOs and FBOs), and development partners, among others. The Alliance is cognisant that important CSOs and CSO platforms may not necessarily have a climate change
agenda, yet, if this is introduced, it would provide integration and sustainability of action. The programme will strive to synergise with stakeholders to strengthen the participation of marginalised groups in policy processes and the development of local solutions and climate justice agenda setting at local, national and global levels. Although the programme will not be directly granting county governments, working with them will be key if their capacity is to be strengthened to access climate finance flows.

Voices for Just Climate Action SSN Brazil The Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) Programme is being implemented in 7 countries, including Brazil. In VCA Brazil the programme targets Local Amazonian communities represented by rivereins, indigenous people, and quilombolas. Based on inclusiveness and gender equality, we will focus on:
a. rural and urban communities in biodiverse areas;
b. women from social movements,
c. youth active on climate or in adjacent fields.
VCA Brazil will include grassroots organizations, but also women, youth, rural and urban social movements that are not necessarily formally constituted. In order to create enabling conditions to have local voices effectively heard in decision-making processes, and to enhance their influence. Additionally, the Programme will also link-local voices to supportive financial institutions and the private sector in Brazil and abroad, which could prove to be a powerful combination. This could open space in business agendas to hear local voices and their demands and solutions for effective climate actions. Jointly we can open the debate about the consequences of business as usual occurring in the Amazon. Public opinion should reflect an awareness of climate change’s negative impact on economic activities and push companies to transform their practices towards a regenerative economy.The Programme in Brazil will also link local voices to supportive financial institutions and the private sector in Brazil and abroad, which could prove to be a powerful combination.

Voices for Just Climate Action SSN Tunisia The Voices for Just Climate Action (VCA) Programme is being implemented in 7 countries, including Tunisia. In VCA Tunisia the programme focuses on strategically involving and prioritising three main groups. The first group consists of stakeholders that have high influence, but low interest in climate justice. Such stakeholders include government entities and officials. In order to advocate and lobby at such a level, the programme will strongly focus on involving stakeholders that have high influence and high interest in climate justice, such as CSOs, social entrepreneurs, journalists, knowledge institutions, climate justice activists, youth and women movements. In order to further unite and amplify voices, the programme will also include stakeholders that have high interest, but low influence such as citizens and CSOs, national and regional networks, and national knowledge institutions.This programme aligns with several other programmes and projects in Tunisia and will closely monitor their work by utilising VCA Tunisia Alliance members’ vast local, regional and international network. It will also build upon its wide network of investigative journalists, artists, and activists in Tunisia to amplify voices on climate justice. .
