bundled climate resilient solutions will be scaled up by the private sector provided they have commercial viability.
2. Strong and charismatic institutional leadership: this is key to galvanise others
into action, and leverage financial incentives.
3. Financial incentives: key for private sector buy in and investment.
4. Make use of existing value chain innovations: partnerships must build on existing and successful mechanisms and processes (e.g., second-generation partnerships in Zimbabwe, engagement of Musika Development Initiatives after their
successful implementation of the Vuna project in Zambia).
Beyond the lessons described here, further research is needed to critically assess
the challenges associated with scaling up single solutions in relation to bundled
solutions, and their impacts on the livelihoods of the poor in a changing climate.
Additional research is also needed to better understand how partnerships can be
flexible and adaptable in light of the dynamic nature of climate change, and to determine how to better provide clear evidence of a business case for the private sector to
invest in scaling up climate resilient solutions. Additionally, action research is
needed to monitor and evaluate the extent to which partnerships, such as those
explored in this chapter, deliver results and achieve impact.
