Project Preparation Facility Application PPF057

The application seeks PPF support to prepare a full funding proposal for a project in Mexico City. The proposed project aims to scale up domestic Rainwater Harvesting Systems (RWHS) for vulnerable populations, particularly women-led households, to mitigate water insecurity caused by climate-led droughts affecting the Cutzamala-Lerma system. The PPF activities include feasibility studies (economic, technical, climate, and water), a gender assessment and action plan, a multi-stakeholder engagement plan, and the final elaboration of a Simplified Approval Process (SAP) funding proposal. The underlying project targets 50,000 direct beneficiaries and seeks a total indicative cost of 9,660,000 USD, with 6,160,000 USD requested from the GCF as a grant.

• Mexico City's water supply is highly vulnerable to climate-led droughts, with the Cutzamala-Lerma system providing 28% of the city's potable water and recently reaching its lowest levels in 25 years as of April 2021.
• Water insecurity disproportionately affects vulnerable populations in Mexico City, with approximately 32% of the population lacking sufficient water supply for basic needs.
• Women-led households are particularly sensitive to water insecurity because women typically hold the primary responsibility for securing water provision.
• The SCALL pilot program demonstrated the technical viability of rainwater harvesting in Mexico City, installing over 22,474 systems by 2021, but highlighted a critical need for better maintenance and gender integration.
• The proposed project aims to install at least 10,000 domestic rainwater harvesting systems across the 10 most climate-affected municipalities in Mexico City.
• A central goal of the project is to operationalize dedicated financial support lines within the existing Public Environmental Fund (PEF) to make rainwater harvesting technology accessible without requiring full government grants.
• The PPF request includes a comprehensive set of feasibility studies to address information gaps, including a climate feasibility study analyzing 30-year historical trends and projections.
• The project seeks to create public policy instruments to improve coordination between different government levels and sectors to ensure the sustainable deployment of water harvesting technologies.
• The total indicative cost for the proposed project is 9,660,000 USD, consisting of a 6,160,000 USD grant request from the GCF and 3,500,000 USD in co-financing.
