Lack of access to finance can be one of the reasons countries engage more readily in adaptive capacity-building activities. Countries that rank highly on the Corruption Perceptions Index engage less in technological solutions for risk management . In addition, countries with higher levels of corruption receive less adaptation aid . Countries are more likely to receive adaptation aid if they import goods from a donor country, or are a former colony of that donor . In countries with poor governance and limited aid flows, remittances make up a substantial portion of finance available to the local population for risk management .
