Coastal Devlopment Partnership

CDP will strengthen community sovereignty across six interdependent programs—Rights & Resilience; Climate & Commons; Energy & Development; Democracy & Governance; Gender & Justice; Narrative & Network—so that people most affected by climate and inequality can define, lead, and sustain their futures. We will:

• expand equitable access to services and clean energy;
• protect and restore commons;
• institutionalize gender just governance, loss & damage accountability; and
• democratize narrative and digital inclusion.

Results will be achieved through locally led planning, social accountability, women’s leadership, climate finance access, and evidence-driven advocacy. A robust MEL system (with community verification) will track outcomes and value-for-money.

CDP seeks multiyear, flexible co financing to scale proven pilots (e.g., solar RO, women-led climate clubs, social enterprise for clean cooking) while crowd-in funding from citizen donors to catalyze last mile components.
