Strengthen institutional capacity, governance mechanisms, planning and programming frameworks for a transformational long-term climate action agenda

The proposal identifies critical gaps in Côte d'Ivoire's climate governance, including a lack of inter-ministerial coordination, insufficient local-level planning, and limited private sector capacity to engage with the Green Climate Fund (GCF). To address these, the project proposes training for the National Designated Authority (NDA), establishing a multi-stakeholder coordination committee, updating the national Country Programme to align with GCF USP-2 requirements, and developing 'green city' strategies in the Gbêkê region and Bocanda. The initiative also includes rural awareness campaigns and the production of educational materials to promote climate adaptation best practices.

• Côte d'Ivoire faces significant climate risks by 2050, including a temperature increase of 2 degrees Celsius, sea level rises of 30 cm, and precipitation variations of -9% in May and +9% in October.
• Climate change is projected to cause substantial economic losses for Côte d'Ivoire, estimated between 380 and 770 billion FCFA, primarily affecting infrastructure, human capital, and the agricultural sector.
• The national agricultural sector, which contributed 21.4% of GDP in 2020 and is dominated by cocoa, is threatened by rising temperatures and decreasing rainfall, contributing to deforestation and rural-to-urban migration.
• There is a critical lack of institutional coordination in Côte d'Ivoire's climate framework, specifically between the Ministry for the Environment and Sustainable Development and the Ministry for Ecological Transition.
• Local and regional authorities lack the necessary planning instruments to integrate climate change into their missions, necessitating the development of rapid diagnostic tools and 'green city' strategies.
• The private sector, including SMEs and banks, lacks the technical expertise and financial skills required to submit competitive financing proposals or assess climate-related credit risks.
• Côte d'Ivoire's current Country Programme requires updating to align with GCF USP-2 requirements, specifically regarding result areas, quality assurance, monitoring, reporting, and risk mitigation.
• Gender equality in climate action is hindered by theoretical reports without application, a lack of dedicated gender expertise in ministries, and poor access to gender-disaggregated data.
• The proposal allocates USD 388,540 over an 18-month implementation period, with the Interprofessional Fund for Agricultural Research and Advice (FIRCA) serving as the Delivery Partner.
