This paper attempts to establish an evidence base for the effectiveness of child-centred adaptation actions. The assessment prioritised the four most effective adaptation actions and analysed their efficacy in terms of cost effectiveness, scalability, sustainability, contextual relevance, innovativeness and gender-differentiated impact.

The following recomendations, based on the evaluation findings, are expected to feed into the design features and implementation architecture of projects of a similar nature which Save the Children and other donors or implementing agencies may consider in the future:

• Ensuring the climate change project activities link back to climate drivers;
• Focus on increasing reach, scope and impact;
• Addressing emerging gender challenges/engaging males in climate actions
• Harvesting and mainstreaming best practices
• Reaching the extreme poor and most vulnerable
• Ensuring that participation of the children in project activities is voluntary
