Enhancing Direct Access Guidelines

The Green Climate Fund (GCF), Enhancing Direct Access (EDA) pilot intends to boost access by sub-national, national and regional, public, and private entities to GCF climate finance. 

EDA promotes country ownership of projects and programmes and devolves decision-making to local actors.

This publication provides non-prescriptive guidance about how to structure an EDA Pilot intervention. It is primarily intended to support GCF Direct Access Entities (DAEs), National Designated Authorities and all the relevant stakeholders to prepare EDA concept notes and funding proposals.
