As adaptation moves from theory to practice, there is a need to select, prioritise and implement adaptation interventions. At the same time, as DfID starts to finance large adaptation programmes, there is a need to ensure Value-for-Money. However, the identification and appraisal of options, and the identification of VfM adaptation, are challenging.
To provide support for these challenges, DFID has produced information notes on early adaptation and value for money, including this "Report on Early VfM Adaptation" and the "Early VfM Adaptation Toolkit" also available on our website.
