The BRACED is a multi-year programme which will scale up funding to NGOs interventions that build community resilience to extreme climate events in ten African and South Asian countries. Drawing on the first two phases of BRACED, this paper clarifies which NGOs in the concerned countries are potential partners for the programme, and what types of activities are they likely to implement if funding were available.
The document selects a group of relevant NGOs, underlining that the group collectively covers a wide-range of thematic areas, skills and expertise as well as geographical specialisms. In addition, the document suggests that if supported funding were in place, the types of NGOs included in that group could achieve the desired outputs.
Learned lessons include:

financial flexibility from donors to tailor interventions towards needs is a crucial requirement, and results of BRACED funded activities are likely to be more sustainable when a dimension of flexibility is incorporated into the financial provisions
successful interventions are those that are community driven; NGOs need to have the capacity to offer a choice of options to community decision-makers
in consortia, NGOs can share skills, capacity and knowledge to better respond to vulnerability on the ground, yet lack of long-term flows of finance can be a real limit to its cost-effectiveness
