Building project pipeline capacities: Development of GCF concept notes in the transport and health sectors in Thailand

The proposal seeks EUR 448,519.00 over 18 months to address capacity gaps in Thailand's transport and health sectors regarding GCF project development. It aims to produce two high-quality concept notes—one for e-mobility in transport and one for resilient health facilities—while conducting a National Readiness Needs Assessment and training at least 45 experts. The project is implemented by GIZ and coordinated with the Office of Natural Resources and Environmental Policy and Planning (ONEP).

• Thailand faces significant barriers to accessing GCF funding, including limited domestic capacity to develop evidence-based climate rationales and a low general understanding of GCF access modalities within sectoral agencies, particularly in transport and health.
• The transport sector is the second largest emitter of GHGs in Thailand, with approximately 96% of these emissions attributed to road transport.
• Barriers to electrifying Thailand's public transport include the lack of a comprehensive joint strategy across ministries, the small scale of many operators who lack purchasing power, and the absence of government subsidies for operators.
• The health sector in Thailand is under pressure from climate-related risks, such as heat-related mortality and vector-borne diseases, yet comprehensive climate risk assessments are missing for most hospital areas.
• A core objective is to train a minimum of 45 experts from the transport and health sectors, as well as climate policy and science institutions, on GCF requirements and the development of complex climate finance concept notes.
• The proposal includes the development of a National Readiness Needs Assessment (RNA) to provide a medium-term strategic outline of technical, institutional, and governance gaps to enable future multi-year Readiness support.
• To ensure the sustainability of the developed concept notes, the project will implement a matchmaking process to connect Thai agencies with regional or international Accredited Entities (AEs), as Thailand currently has no accredited Direct Access Entity (DAE).
