The Nigeria Sovereign Investment Authority (NSIA) seeks to strengthen its institutional capacity, systems, and expertise to mobilise, manage, and deploy climate finance effectively under the Green Climate Fund. As a newly accredited Direct Access Entity, NSIA has demonstrated experience in climate-related investments and has established a dedicated Sustainability and ESG function to oversee environmental, social, climate, gender, and impact-related activities across the institution.
The Readiness support will enhance NSIA’s ability to manage climate finance at scale by strengthening accreditation-related systems, climate strategy, project pipeline development, implementation readiness, monitoring and reporting frameworks, and knowledge-sharing mechanisms. The initiative will support NSIA’s efforts to accelerate climate investments in Nigeria and expand its role in delivering impactful climate actions through GCF resources.
