 My name is Alitha Kirshe and I'm the Regional Director for Climate and Development Knowledge Network, CDKM, and I'm also Chief Executive Officer of LEED Pakistan. I facilitated a session on challenges faced by donor agencies in supporting and funding adaptation in different parts of the world. There are many messages dealing with increased need for donor cooperation or collaboration with each other, tracking investments in adaptation, making systems more transparent, more accountable, more efficient, generating more data, especially gender segregated data in order to ensure that we are reaching out to all the marginalized groups or affected groups. Then there was also a lot of discussion and discourse on such aspects of making it more inclusive, more pro-poor, somehow converting into a bottom-ups approach. I think the most important ask was that in funding adaptation, the donors need to be able to distinguish between adaptation and maladaptation. They need to somehow have mechanisms in place to have better understanding of these issues and communication with each other.
