The process in engaging each respective government by C-CAP staff differed as each country has a distinct unit responsible for addressing Climate Change issues at the community level. The following table summarizes the list of communities identified by each respective government as having important climate change challenges which could be addressed through C-CAP assistance. The document provides background on the consultative process conducted with respective government units in the selection of new communities.

C-CAP staff also worked closely to identify new communities in four new countries of Kiribati, Tuvalu, Solomon Islands and Nauru. The two deliverables of 1.1.A.2 Identify three priority C-CAP districts in each country of operations and 1.1.B.2 Rank five priority communities in each selected district for USAID approval have been combined in this submission because in most cases the communities are selected by partner country counterparts primarily due to their particular vulnerability to climate change impacts as opposed to their geographic position. The following sections will provide a summary of discussions conducted with country counterparts in the selection process for new communities in each country. Annexes provide meeting summaries for the countries that C-CAP has engaged with in the process of selecting the additional communities. Each country section includes a comprehensive list of communities to date with new communities marked by an asterisk after each community name. 3.0 COMMUNITY SELECTION BY COUNTRY 3.1 PAPUA NEW GUINEA In PNG’s New Ireland province, C-CAP identified and coordinated with the fledgling Climate Change Office within the Provincial Environmental Department to participate in the selection and validation of potential C-CAP sites. Office of Climate Change and Development personnel participated in C-CAP activities in late February and again in March 2014, becoming familiar with C-CAP methodologies for community engagement and conducting technical assessments. The exposure builds capacity at the provincial level and, in the case of the New Ireland Climate Change Office, provides an impetus and an opportunity for the Province to both deliver climate change assistance and training and gain first hand inputs from community perspectives on needs to support local policy and organizational developments. See Annex 1 for the list of coordination meetings held with PNG officials to discuss Year 2 site selection. In this regard, New Ireland is currently using C-CAP experience and site reports to: Expand provincial level assessments beyond C-CAP communities to other high vulnerability community sites; Develop provincial procedures, based on learned C-CAP techniques for conducting assessments and promoting climate change awareness; and Leverage C-CAP reports and demonstrated needs to request Provincial or external funding to augment limited provincial administrative funding.
