Updating and operationalizing the Chad Country Programme through increased national capacity & a strong pipeline of projects

The Republic of Chad is seeking a second GCF readiness grant to address gaps in climate finance mobilization. The proposal focuses on four main outcomes: strengthening the institutional capacity of the National Designated Authority (NDA), updating the national GCF website, operationalizing the No-Objection Procedure (NOP), and establishing a Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) tool for climate finance flows. Additionally, it aims to update the Chad Country Programme and develop at least three high-quality project concept notes in sectors such as agriculture, water, and fisheries. A significant component of the request is the mobilization of the private sector through a landscape analysis and a call for project ideas to reduce the country's climate investment deficit.

• Despite a previous GCF grant of USD 300,000 (2017-2018), Chad still faces significant gaps in climate finance readiness, including limited capacity for project design, monitoring, and evaluation, as well as a lack of an MRV system to track climate finance flows.
• The proposal seeks to strengthen the National Designated Authority (NDA) by providing training on GCF operational modalities, establishing clear Terms of Reference (TORs), and recruiting two technical assistants—a Senior Climate Change Specialist and a Junior Administrative and Project Management Assistant.
• A primary objective is to develop a pipeline of at least three high-quality GCF concept notes in the sectors of agriculture, sustainable land management REDD+, and Water and Fisheries, with at least one project involving the private sector.
• The project aims to engage the private sector through a landscape analysis to identify priority sectors, regulatory barriers, and the capacity of banks to provide financial products for climate-smart investments.
• The proposal includes the operationalization and testing of the No-Objection Procedure (NOP) on at least five real projects to ensure the NDA can effectively manage project submissions.
• The total requested funding is USD 504,161 over a 24-month duration, to be implemented by the National Water Fund (FNE) as the Delivery Partner.
