Title
In-between Spaces - Intermediaries Rethinking Funding Practices. A learning pap er on Funding and Entrepreneurship Supp ort for Adaptation & Resilience
Abstract
This learning paper on funding and entrepreneurship support for adaptation and resilience is a collaboration between SILP and the Climate Adaptation Innovation & Learning Initiative project. It brings together real-world insights from a community of 25 practitioners working across intermediary roles in the climate adaptation and resilience sector.
Rather than presenting a fixed model, the paper explores how intermediaries operate in the “in-between spaces”, navigating tensions between funders and communities, certainty and emergence, delivery and learning. It highlights the practices already being used in these spaces, and what is needed to enable more effective, equitable, and adaptive transformation.
We’ve designed this paper as a practical tool — offering insights to challenge assumptions, open dialogue, and support reflection within your own organisation or community.
