Resilient Recovery Rapid Readiness Support in Malaysia

The proposal seeks USD 300,000 to help Malaysia align its economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic with climate change priorities. The project, implemented by the Malaysia Green Technology and Climate Change Centre (MGTC) under the Ministry of Environment and Water, aims to analyze the impact of pandemic stimulus packages on climate strategies, develop a national resilient recovery strategy and investment plan, and create at least one new project concept note for GCF submission. The initiative focuses on sectors including energy, construction, transport, waste, water, and manufacturing to facilitate a transition to a climate-neutral and inclusive economy.

• The project requests a total of USD 300,000.00 to be implemented over a period of 12 months.
• The proposal identifies a gap in current knowledge, stating that no study has been conducted in Malaysia regarding the direct and indirect impacts of COVID-19 on the country's climate change efforts.
• The project's primary objectives are to develop strategic frameworks to address policy gaps and increase the number of quality project concept notes submitted to the GCF.
• A key activity involves performing a desk analysis of how COVID-19 and economic stimulus measures—such as PRIHATIN, PRIHATIN SME+, and PENJANA—impact climate change strategies and plans.
• The project aims to produce a national strategy for resilient recovery and an investment plan, utilizing stakeholder interviews and modeling exercises to prioritize measures that maximize climate, economic, and social benefits.
• The project intends to develop and submit at least one new concept note to the GCF, supported by pre-feasibility studies on priority measures.
• The Malaysia Green Technology and Climate Change Centre (MGTC) serves as the Delivery Partner, responsible for day-to-day activities, financial management, and procurement, while the Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA) acts as the National Designated Authority.
