With the aim to enable the poorest and most vulnerable communities from the Mid- and Far-Western regions to adapt to the climate change impact, the government has approved Nepal Climate Change Support Programme (NCCSP). The programme will be implemented within a couple of months.
The four-year programme is targeted at supporting the local level adaptation programmes in 14 districts of the regions with the direct involvement of local government bodies, non-government organisations and local communities.
The Department for International Development and the European Union have agreed to provide a grant assistance of Rs 1.8 billion for the programme’s implementation. According to the Ministry of Environment (MoE), the programme focuses on effective implementation of the Climate Change Policy 2011 and development and implementation of necessary strategies as envisioned in the policy.
The policy and National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) 2011 have the provision of spending 80 percent of the total grant on local level activities.

The Change support project is audience focused and driven by the community and family level where behavior and norms are formed. The primary focus is on households with children and youth, and the communities they live in, the providers they go to and the district and national leaders that impact them.
