Guía para la elaboración de Programas de País para el Green Climate Fund

The document outlines the structure and process for developing GCF Country Programmes, which serve as the foundation for prioritizing climate finance proposals. It details five mandatory components: country context, climate finance strategy, project priorities, institutional needs, and stakeholder engagement. The guide emphasizes alignment with national climate plans (such as NDCs and NAPs) and the role of Accredited Entities in implementing these priorities over four-year programming cycles.

• Country Programmes are the essential first step in the GCF project cycle, serving as the basis for prioritizing funding proposals submitted by Accredited Entities on behalf of countries.
• Country Programmes must align with national climate strategies and international goals, specifically the Paris Agreement's targets to stabilize global temperatures at 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
• A Country Programme must contain five specific components: country context, climate finance strategy and priorities, GCF project and program priorities, institutional policy and planning needs, and a multi-stakeholder engagement process.
• Countries are encouraged to identify up to five priority projects or programs for each four-year programming cycle, though this does not limit the total number of projects that can be funded.
• The GCF prioritizes the use of its Readiness Programme and Project Preparation Facility (PPF) to support the development of priority projects identified within the Country Programmes.
• The guide recommends that countries consider 'paradigm shift' projects characterized by innovation, replicability, scalability, and financial sustainability, while exploring non-grant instruments such as equity, guarantees, and loans.
