This Toolkit and related materials supporting the integration of climate change adaptation into development projects are possible due to generous support from CARE USA's Climate Change Innovation Fund, under CARE's Pan-Africa Climate Change Initiative.

We would like to thank all members of the team responsible for developing this Toolkit. The team of primary authors was led by Angie Dazé (CARE, PECCN). The other primary authors were Cynthia Awuor (CARE Somalia/South Sudan ), Amilcar Lucas (CARE Mozambique), Beatrice Riche (IISD) and Julie Webb (CARE Australia). Valuable technical inputs were provided by Charles Ehrhart (CARE, PECCN), Anne Hammill (IISD), Marcos Neto (CARE USA) and Tine Rossing (CARE, PECCN).

The Toolkit was produced by Tamara Plush, CARE International Climate Change Communications Officer (PECCN). The design and implementation were completed by Steen Jensen and Nguyen Van Ngoc Vinh.

We are grateful to our CARE colleagues, partner organisations and project stakeholders in Ghana, Honduras, East Timor, Vietnam and Kenya for their participation in field-testing of the Toolkit. These contributors are too numerous to name, but their contributions were invaluable.

We appreciate the useful feedback received from the following CARE colleagues: Rolf Herno (CARE Denmark), Peter Lochery (CARE USA), Shannon Oliver (CARE), Gabriela Fontenla Razzetto (CARE Peru), Morten Fauerby Thomsen (CARE Vietnam), Peter Wright (CARE Niger) and Andreas Zahner (CARE Austria). We are also thankful for inputs from Judy Oglethorpe and Jonathan Cook of WWF.
