The PHRD Fund has been a leader in funding new and innovative programs designed to respond to emerging development challenges. PHRD?s flexibility enables it to support initiatives that employ new and innovative approaches to emerging development problems, learning from past development practices and experiences and applying new approaches to the specific challenges facing developing countries today. Last year, the PHRD Fund provided significant support to the following innovative programs: The Climate Change Initiative under the PHRD Fund provides grants to recipient countries? government entities to support the inclusion of climatechange concerns in the country?s development planning process and prepare and implement Bankfinanced projects which support reduction in emission of green-house gases and promote energy efficiency or adaptation to the adverse impact of climate change, in concert with economic growth and eradication of poverty.
