Title : Partner for Amplifying Voice for Just Climate Action
Focused Area : East Nusa Tenggara (NTT)
Report to : AVJCA Country Engagement Manager
Amplifying Voice for Just Climate Action Implementation Strategies
The partnership will give a strong focus on learning, capacity building, and adaptive management throughout the planning and implementation phases. In-depth understanding of the context is essential, and theory of change will be use to show how and why the desired change is expected to happen. However, we work in complex environments. Therefore, the ability to adapt to the changing context is critical for a project, and the theory of change will be reviewed regularly. In addition, the adaptive management approach will provide the flexibility for civil society grantees to adapt to changing circumstances and contexts.
The implementation of the programme is also influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic which we suspect will not subside in the coming years. The pandemic has accelerated the use of video-conferencing tools for meetings and exchange. Therefore, we will reduce the amount of air travel and domestic transport to the extent possible. However, most community-based organizations and rural people have limited access to the internet and mobile services. If they do, the bandwidth needed for video connection is too high making the connection unreliable and expensive. Therefore, such meetings could still be in person. Also, the local COVID-19 context will be taken into account and meetings will only take place if the local situation allows it, if we can take the local COVID-19 policies into account and appropriate safety measures can be taken.
