The Indonesian Environmental Fund (IEF) is requesting a grant of USD 886,719 from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to prepare a full funding proposal for the Green Peatland Economy (GPE) project. The GPE project aims to transition Indonesia's peatlands from drainage-based, high-emission land use to zero-drainage, low-emission models that enhance community resilience and preserve ecosystems. The PPF will fund nine key activities over 13 months, including feasibility studies, gender and social inclusion analyses, market assessments for 'peatland-friendly' commodities, and the development of sustainable financial instruments. The project focuses on five Peatland Hydrological Units (PHUs) across Riau, Central Kalimantan, and South Sumatra provinces.

This Request for Proposal (RFP), issued by the GreenCape Sector Development Agency on 29 August 2025, seeks a Professional Service Provider (PSP) to conduct project preparation activities for three infrastructure projects in the Saldanha Bay Municipality. The work is part of the Sustainable Infrastructure Development and Financial Facility (SIDAFF) Programme, which is funded by international donors including the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) and Impact Fund Denmark (IFD). The PSP will guide projects from initiation through to documentation and procurement, ensuring compliance with both South African law and international standards, specifically the International Finance Corporation's (IFC) Performance Standards and World Bank Environmental and Social Standards.

The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) is seeking funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to prepare a detailed project proposal titled "Ecosystem-based Approaches for transforming smallholder farming systems that are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change in South Africa". The preparatory phase, estimated to take 9 months, involves hiring a consultancy firm to conduct a series of ten technical studies and consultations. These activities include climate risk and vulnerability assessments, pre-feasibility studies, and gender analyses across four priority provinces: KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, and Limpopo. The ultimate goal is to design a project that provides tailored climate information via a Multi-Hazard Early Warning System and transforms farming systems using nature-based solutions to mitigate risks from floods, droughts, and veld fires.

The document outlines a request for USD 221,396 from the GCF PPF to complete the design of the PEARL project in Cambodia. The project focuses on transitioning smallholder farmers from traditional rain-fed rice to climate-resilient, high-value crops including cashew, mango, organic rice, and vegetables. Key preparation activities include climate modeling for target crops, identifying catchment restoration areas, designing a revolving fund for infrastructure, and conducting integrated financial and economic analyses. The project intends to benefit approximately 450,000 farmers by improving agrometeorological services and financial access, with a total indicative project cost of USD 41.975 million over eight years.
