Readiness Support for the Implementation of the IRMF for the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC)

The National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) is seeking USD 199,966.00 from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) over 12 months to align its monitoring, evaluation, and reporting systems with the GCF's Integrated Results Management Framework (IRMF). The project aims to bridge gaps in NTNC's ability to transform project ideas into bankable proposals and to effectively measure results across its pipeline of climate resilience projects in Nepal. Key activities include capacity needs assessments, the development of training curricula, and residential training for 20 officers on Theory of Change, logical frameworks, and paradigm shift evaluations. This support is intended to facilitate the implementation of existing projects, such as FP 131 in the Gandaki River Basin, and the development of new initiatives in regions like Karnali Province, Madhesh Province, and the Kathmandu Valley.

• The NTNC is requesting USD 199,966.00 for a 12-month readiness project focused on capacity building to implement the GCF's Integrated Results Management Framework (IRMF).
• NTNC identifies a critical gap in its ability to convert climate-related project ideas into 'bankable' proposals that comply with the new IRMF standards, specifically regarding the Theory of Change, Logical Framework, and paradigm shift indicators.
• The project will implement two primary outputs: conducting capacity needs assessments and delivering training for monitoring and reporting new IRMF indicators (Output 1.2.4), and delivering training for the evaluation of paradigm shift and enabling environments (Output 1.2.5).
• The readiness support is designed to support a diverse pipeline of eight projects in Nepal, including initiatives for forest-dependent communities in Karnali Province, water supply in the Indrawati basin, and urban resilience in the Kathmandu Valley.
• Implementation will be managed by a three-member Project Management Unit (PMU) led by the Head of the Department of Climate Change and Knowledge Management, supported by a local Project Focal Person and an external professional services firm.
