Strengthening NRSP and Pipeline development in Pakistan

The proposal seeks USD 396,803 to address post-accreditation capacity gaps in the NRSP and update Pakistan's outdated 2017 GCF Country Programme to better align climate investments with current national priorities.

• The National Rural Support Programme (NRSP) became Pakistan's first Direct Access Entity (DAE) under the GCF in 2018 but still faces urgent post-accreditation capacity gaps, specifically the need for investigation, lending, and blending guidelines.
• Pakistan's GCF Country Programme (CP), first developed in 2017, is now nearly five years old and requires updating to reflect current climate impact scenarios, emissions projections, and priority commitments.
• The proposed readiness support aims to develop and submit three specific project concept notes (CNs) focusing on climate-smart villages, electric vehicles promotion, and climate-smart coastal communities.
• Pakistan faces diverse climate threats including glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), recession of the Hindu Kush-Karakoram-Himalayan (HKH) glaciers affecting the Indus River System, and coastal inundation due to sea-level rise.
• To meet its 2030 projected GHG emissions reduction target of up to 20%, Pakistan estimates a total transformational cost of approximately USD 40 billion, with adaptation needs ranging between USD 7-14 billion per annum.
• The total requested amount for this 24-month readiness support project is USD 396,803, to be implemented by the NRSP as the Delivery Partner.
