1. Why is the Scottish Government funding the CCPM?

The Scottish Government has set, and met, some of the world’s toughest targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It set up the Climate Justice Fund, and now the Climate Challenge Programme Malawi (CCPM) initiative, to help poor communities in developing countries who are being hit first and hardest by the changing climate, despite having done least to cause the problem.

2. Why are SCIAF involved?

SCIAF was awarded this contract after an open and transparent tender process in accordance with the Scottish Government’s procurement procedures, during which all tenders were evaluated against pre-determined criteria by an external organisation.
