Country Programming & Entity Support

The Republic of Maldives, supported by UN Environment, is requesting USD 300,000 from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) for a 12-month readiness program (April 2017 to March 2018). The proposal focuses on strengthening the National Designated Authority (NDA), creating a Five Year National Strategic Framework to mobilize international climate finance, and developing a first draft of a Country Programme. Key activities include broad-based stakeholder consultations, the development of at least three project concept notes aligned with the Maldives Climate Change Policy Framework and NDC, and the creation of a monitoring platform on the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MEE) webpage. The project aims to leverage existing initiatives, such as the BML Green Fund and UN Environment's work on energy efficiency in housing, to enhance the country's ability to access and manage climate finance.

• The Republic of Maldives is requesting a total of USD 300,000 for a 12-month readiness and preparatory support period from 1 April 2017 to 31 March 2018.
• The proposal aims to develop a Five Year National Strategic Framework specifically designed to mobilize international climate finance to address climate change issues within the Maldives.
• A primary objective is to produce a first full draft of the Country Programme, which will be informed by broad-based consultations involving approximately 50 to 75 persons, including equal representation of women.
• The project will result in the development of at least three concept notes for priority projects that align with the Maldives Climate Change Policy Framework, the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), and other national strategies, with specific consideration for gender and the vulnerabilities of children and the elderly.
• The proposal includes the creation of a digital platform on the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MEE) webpage to facilitate communication between the NDA and stakeholders and to monitor finance activities.
• The initiative seeks to build upon existing national efforts, such as the BML Green Fund, which was launched with an initial capitalization of MVR 500 million (USD 32.4 million) to provide concessional finance for a low-carbon economy.
• UN Environment serves as the Delivery Partner, managing the grant and procurement of technical national consultants, while the Ministry of Environment and Energy (MEE) acts as the main national partner for coordination and implementation.
