One of the Adaptation Fund programs implemented since July 2021 is the project titled "Protecting-Preserving-Conserving Towards Resilience: A 3S Approach to Building Coastal City Resilience to the Impacts of Climate Change and Natural Disasters in Pekalongan City, Central Java Province", a collaboration between KEMITRAAN and the Pekalongan City Government, supported by the Adaptation Fund (AF). Pekalongan City is one of the areas most severely affected by climate change in the coastal region of Central Java.

The CCO, along with other AF Pekalongan staff, is expected to facilitate and mobilize community groups in the program target areas, support project consultants, and engage stakeholders in strengthening sustainable livelihoods, as well as collaborate with stakeholders and program consultants in developing methods and planning for economic empowerment.

KEMITRAAN memainkan peran krusial dalam mendukung pengembangan undang-undang untuk membentuk KPK. Hal ini diikuti dengan langkah mendukung Pemerintah dan DPR dalam memilih calon komisioner yang kompeten dan juga mendukung kelompok masyarakat sipil untuk mengawasi secara kritis proses seleksinya. Setelah komisioner ditunjuk, mereka meminta KEMITRAAN untuk membantu mendesain kelembagaan dan rekrutmen awal KPK, serta memainkan peran sebagai koordinator donor. Sangat jelas bahwa KEMITRAAN memainkan peran kunci dalam mendukung KPK untuk mengembangkan kapasitas dan strategi yang diperlukan agar dapat bekerja seefektif mungkin.
