Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) is integral to supporting community climate resilience that ensures no one is left behind. Inclusive, climate-resilient WASH goes beyond infrastructure to ensure that solutions meet the needs of the most marginalised and can continue functioning in the face of climate hazards. Accessing climate adaptation financing for WASH projects has been a challenge for civil society organisations (CSOs) due to a number of procedural, design and systemic barriers. This brief provides a short overview of the climate finance available for the WASH sector in Papua New Guinea (PNG). It identifies the main barriers to climate finance access and highlights proven pathways to funding. It also recommends ways for CSOs and funders (primarily donor governments and multilateral development banks) to improve access to funds for climate-resilient WASH. It is one of a series of briefs covering several countries in the Asia and Pacific region. It is based on analysis of secondary data from a desk review and interviews with key climate finance stakeholders in late 2022.
