Beyond coproduction: A case study in direct funding to advance community-led resilience

Knowledge-based actors in academic institutions and government agencies increasingly apply coproduction to build the resilience and adaptive capacity of frontline communities. However, coproduced climate adaptation outputs are predominantly technical, scientific, or data products. Frontline communities often seek more practical outputs aimed at immediate resilience priorities. In this paper, we describe our community grants program, which provided direct funding to frontline community-based organizations, as an illustrative case study 1) to expand knowledge of what community-led climate resilience means and its impact in practical terms, and 2) to build understanding of the opportunities and limitations of direct funding for advancing climate resilience. We analyze project proposals and post-project semi-structured interviews to increase understanding of what frontline community-based organizations mean by resilience and how they approach that work. Our findings indicate that direct fun..., , # Beyond coproduction: A case study in direct funding to advance community-led resilience
