Building Climate Resilience

Summit Resilience is a specialist consultancy established in 2022, operating at the intersection of climate change adaptation, resilience building, and development finance. Based in Cape Town, South Africa, we develop project proposals for multilateral funding mechanisms on behalf of UN agencies, national governments, and development organisations across Africa and beyond.

How We Work

Rigour from the Top Tier

GCF and GEF represent the gold standard in development finance. Their rigorous requirements aren't bureaucracy—they're codified lessons from decades of development finance that make projects succeed.

Transferable Methodology

The frameworks we use—Theory of Change, problem analysis, logical frameworks—apply to any complex project development, not just climate finance.

Participatory Co-creation

Projects designed without implementers fail. Active involvement of stakeholders isn't consultation theatre; it's how you build something that works.

Process + People

Systematic process and participatory engagement work together. The more both are integrated, the higher the likelihood of implementation success.

Our Network

Summit Resilience works with a network of specialists in climate science, ecosystem management, social development, and project finance to deliver comprehensive solutions.
