Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme: Progress Report

As of May 2017, the Green Climate Fund (GCF) has engaged with 105 countries on 165 readiness requests, committing or spending a total of USD 34.3 million. The programme focuses on strengthening National Designated Authorities (NDAs), developing country programmes and project pipelines, and supporting the accreditation of direct access entities. Key achievements include the provision of in-kind accreditation support to 102 entities across 55 countries and the development of strategic frameworks in various regions. The report details specific activities in countries such as Tonga, Djibouti, and Namibia, and outlines the establishment of no-objection procedures in 34 countries. Additionally, it highlights regional structured dialogues in Asia and Eastern Europe and Central Asia to facilitate project pipelines and knowledge sharing.

• By May 2017, the GCF had engaged with 105 countries on 165 readiness requests, with 72 of these countries being small island developing States, least developed countries or African States, representing 69 per cent of the total portfolio.
• The Secretariat committed or spent USD 34.3 million in total, consisting of USD 30 million in grants or technical assistance for 102 requests in 78 countries, and USD 4.3 million for events, NDA visits, and in-kind support.
• The programme has provided in-kind accreditation support to 102 entities nominated by NDAs/focal points from 55 countries. Of these, 21 direct access entities in 18 countries received approved readiness support to identify institutional gaps and create action plans.
• A significant outcome is the establishment of transparent no-objection procedures; 36 requests from 34 countries under implementation expect to establish such procedures upon completion.
• The Asia Structured Dialogue in Bali, Indonesia (April 2017) involved 150 participants from 22 countries and resulted in a regional road map showcasing a USD 9.4 billion pipeline, with USD 2.6 billion requested from the GCF.
• The programme supports the development of country programmes and project pipelines to align with nationally determined contributions and national strategies, with specific examples of funded projects for direct access entities in Namibia and South Africa.
