Enhancing Access of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and Disabled People Organizations (DPOs) to Climate Finance for Building Resilience of Most Vulnerable Groups in Tonga

This Readiness proposal aims to enhance the capacities of CSOs and DPOs, including knowledge, skills and organizational structures, and the enabling environment to improve access to climate financing and delivery of climate change adaptation and mitigation initiatives in Tonga, contributing to sustainable low-carbon and climate-resilient development. Making GCF work for the most vulnerable communities will greatly benefit from the input and engagement of non- government organizations such as CSOs and DPOs.

The key outcomes of the project are:

  • Relevant CSOs and DPOs have established adequate capacity, systems and networks to support the planning, programming and implementation of GCF-funded activities;
  • Tonga has developed or strengthened strategic frameworks to address policy gaps, improve sectoral expertise, and enhance adaptation financing;
  • An increase in the number of quality project concept notes developed and submitted to the GCF by CSOs and DPOs in Tonga;
  • Partnerships established between CSOs and DPOs with government to foster development and disseminate methods, frameworks and information systems for enhanced climate finance programming at subnational, national and regional levels.
