ARA micro grants process learning report

This report presents key lessons from the ARA micro-grants process, focusing on co-production and learning processes in projects supporting Locally Led Adaptation (LLA) and on lessons learnt on micro-granting for adaptation.

The process brought together diverse partners from Africa, Asia and Latin America to co-produce knowledge and contribute to adaptation on the ground through global and regional workshops. The findings highlight that co-production processes, trust building, and engagement with diverse stakeholders are essential for meaningful action, and that projects were most successful when they built on ongoing processes, addressed local burning issues, and enabled collaboration across sectors and knowledge types.
