The BRCC is a USD 27.29 million pilot programme that the Climate Change and Development Authority (CCDA) will be implementing over six years (from 2016 to 2021), through a grant from the Climate Investment Fund (CIF) to the Government of PNG, which will be administered by the Asian Development Bank.

The aim of the BRCC is to mainstream climate resilience into development plans to address country priorities that focus on vulnerable communities. The programme is funded by the Climate Investment Fund (CIF).
