Table I.

Effective programme design

Effectiveness criteria	Policy options
Relevance, quality and climate-proofing of assets and infrastructure	Community-based planning to ensure needs orientation Capacity development for (local) engineers to ensure quality and climate-resilience of assets and infrastructure Incorporation of climate risks into asset and infrastructure selection and design based on climate risk assessments
Predictability and timeliness of support	Contingency funds or sovereign risk insurance providing additional resources in due time Rapid provision of additional work, e.g. based on contingency or community development plans Rapid provision of transfers, e.g. via bank accounts or additional in-kind transfers
Adequacy of support	Needs-based support (amount and duration of transfers) based on rapid needs assessments, e.g. through contingency funds or sovereign risk insurance allowing to scale up support in case of extremes
Flexibility in targeting (regionally and level of income)	Integration of climate risk indices considering potential regional impacts of climate variability and change for early-warning Self-selection or geographic targeting
