Institutional Strengthening of Tuvalu’s NDA and Preparation of Country Programme

The proposal requests USD 618,534 over 24 months to enhance Tuvalu's ability to access and manage climate finance. It focuses on two main outcomes: establishing institutional coordination mechanisms for the NDA and developing a comprehensive Country Programme. Key activities include conducting capacity assessments, establishing a dedicated GCF desk, creating 'No Objection' procedures, and conducting stakeholder consultations across Tuvalu's nine islands to identify adaptation and mitigation priorities. The project also emphasizes gender mainstreaming and the identification of appropriate climate technology solutions.

• Tuvalu is highly vulnerable to climate change due to its average elevation of 1.83 meters above sea level, making it susceptible to sea-level rise, cyclones, and storm surges.
• The proposal requests a total of USD 618,534 to be implemented over a 24-month period.
• The first primary objective is to strengthen the NDA's institutional capacity to manage climate finance, which includes establishing a GCF desk, developing 'No Objection' procedures for funding proposals, and creating monitoring and verification systems.
• The second primary objective is the formulation of a Country Programme that aligns climate investments with national sustainable development and climate change priorities through consultations with government, civil society, the private sector, and island communities.
• The project aims to address gaps in the inclusion of vulnerable groups by developing a gender programming strategy and conducting robust consultations across all nine of Tuvalu's islands.
• The programme includes a technical component to identify and assess the feasibility of climate technology solutions for adaptation and mitigation, resulting in the development of two concept notes for the GCF.
• The Ministry of Finance serves as the Delivery Partner responsible for fiduciary management, financial monitoring, and reporting, while the Climate Change Department (CCD) handles operational monitoring.
• Tuvalu has set a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electricity cooperation by 100% by 2025.
