MAINSTREAMING ADAPTATION TO CLIMATE
CHANGE PROJECT (MACC)
MACC, originally a four-year (2003 to 2007)
GEF/WB funded project, executed by the
CARICOM Secretariat (CCS) with the World Bank
(WB) as implementing agency. The CCCCC became
executing agency in January 2007 and the project
extended to March 2009.
