Table 2 Reasons for an ADB/APRF collaboration
From: Regional organisations supporting health sector responses to climate change in Southeast Asia
| Â | Reasons | ADB (SRCC) Details | APRF (CCTWG) Details |
|---|---|---|---|
1 | Complementary Strength | ADB brings project management strengths | APRF brings vision and an ownership-building methodology |
2 | Complementary Strength | ADB has access to significant direct and grant-based finances | APRF has higher levels of perceived legitimacy, and brings ‘in-house’ expertise in public health and climate change |
3 | Historical and contemporary links | Existing inter-organisation links, such as the same national level personnel involved in both initiatives as well as ADB personnel attending APRF events | |
4 | Risk management | A collaborative partnership would formalise a convergence between the mandates of the two organisations, thus helping to manage the risk of future inter-organisational competition for funding | |
