Strengthening the NDA’s institutional capacity, mechanism and Country Programming for strategic engagement with GCF

The proposal seeks USD 615,650 over 24 months to address four primary barriers in Angola: inadequate institutional capacity within the NDA, the absence of national direct access accredited entities, a lack of strategic frameworks for GCF investment and private sector mobilization, and a weak project pipeline. The project, implemented by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), aims to establish a no-objection procedure, develop a Country Programme Document, create a climate finance tagging system, and produce two high-quality project concept notes for GCF submission. It also includes the development of an NDA website to increase stakeholder awareness.

• Angola faces significant financial barriers to implementing its 2021 revised NDC, which targets a 15% unconditional emission reduction by 2025. The total estimated cost for these mitigation and adaptation contributions through 2025 is approximately USD 44.1 billion.
• The proposal identifies four critical barriers hindering Angola's engagement with the GCF: inadequate human and technical capacity within the NDA, the total absence of national direct access accredited entities, a lack of strategic frameworks for investment and private sector engagement, and a weak pipeline of project concept notes.
• A primary objective of the grant is to establish a formal no-objection procedure and a system for screening, selecting, and reviewing climate change projects at the NDA level.
• The project intends to identify and nominate two national entities—one public and one private—for GCF direct access accreditation.
• The proposal includes the development of a climate finance tagging system to track both internal and external financial flows within the Angolan fiscal regime.
• The grant aims to improve the quality of Angola's project pipeline by developing or improving two specific concept notes for submission to the GCF, ensuring they align with GCF investment criteria.
• The project will develop a strategy specifically for the mobilization and engagement of the private sector to foster financing for low-emissions and climate-resilient development.
• The proposal incorporates a gender-responsive approach, targeting 50% women's participation in all readiness activities, including consultations and capacity-building workshops.
