Strengthening Rwanda's capacity to access GCF Funds through the assessment of readiness needs, updating country programme, capacitating national stakeholders and renewal of DAE accreditation

This proposal outlines a plan to enhance Rwanda's engagement with the Green Climate Fund (GCF) through four primary outcomes: strengthening the National Designated Authority's (NDA) coordination capacity, updating the country programming process, facilitating the renewal of the Ministry of Environment's accreditation, and developing a private sector mobilization strategy. The project, implemented by the Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), aims to address gaps in institutional coordination, outdated strategic frameworks, and limited private sector participation in climate finance over an 18-month period starting in January 2021.

• The proposal identifies several institutional gaps, including an inadequate capacity of the NDA and National Coordination Team (NCT) to coordinate stakeholders, limited private sector participation in climate finance, and a country programme that has not been updated since 2016.
• A central objective is to renew the GCF accreditation of the Ministry of Environment (MoE), which is currently limited to small-size projects and is set to expire in 2022.
• The project will conduct a comprehensive readiness needs assessment to establish a timeline for urgent, medium, and long-term actions, which will serve as the foundation for a future multi-year readiness program.
• To increase private sector engagement, the project will develop a mobilization strategy including a mapping of private sector players, an investor guide for climate change, and the development of one high-quality concept note for submission to the GCF.
• The proposal seeks a total budget of US$ 297,677.00 for an 18-month implementation period from January 2021 to June 2022, with funds disbursed in three tranches.
• Rwanda's climate vulnerability is characterized by rising average annual temperatures of 0.7-0.9°C since 1950 and intensified extreme events such as floods, landslides, and droughts.
