Climate Change Resilient Development (CCRD) was a global, four-year project in support of USAID’s Global Climate Change Office (2012-2015). CCRD's climate adaptation-focused programs operate in 36 countries throughout Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, and Latin America and the Caribbean.

Employing USAID/GCC's strategic “development first" framework, CCRD delivered guidance, technical assistance, and capacity building to 3 Regional Bureaus and 8 Missions for USAID, several national governments, and dozens of local communities around the world to integrate climate change concerns into development policy, planning, and implementation.

CCRD also explored emerging issues in climate adaptation by developing innovative programs:

• Climate Services Partnership (CSP)
• High Mountains Adaptation Partnership (HiMAP)
• Climate Resilient Infrastructure Services program (CRIS) 
  
• preparation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs)
• Adaptation Partnership
  
• 36 Small Grants to research scientists in 19 countries.
  

CCRD enabled USAID Bureaus and Missions to mainstream adaptation into planning; utilize custom-tailored, industry-first tools; provide technical assistance; and build capacity to their respective stakeholders.
