NDA strengthening and country programming support for India through UNDP (Phase 2)
The first phase of the readiness programme was implemented by UNDP from November 2016 to October 2019. Major focus was at national level a) to strengthen institutional capacity for NDA to fulfil its role and b) development of the country programme document. This was the only readiness and preparatory support provided to India on Green Climate Fund.
During the first phase, the capacity of the key stakeholders was built through regional level workshops and consultations. However, it was observed that state governments and sub national actors require further hand holding to align state priorities with the priorities identified in the country programme as well as augmentation of their capacity to translate project proposal ideas into full-fledged funding proposals for GCF. During the first phase, the project received good response from the private sector but due to paucity of resources, there were limitations in private sector engagement.
The second phase will build on the outcomes of the first phase and will build capacity of DAEs and state governments to actively engage with NDA for implementation of the country programme and leveraging GCF resources while engaging the private sector for unleashing its full potential to undertake climate actions in the areas of clean energy and building climate resilience. The second phase has two major objectives:1) Accreditation support and building capacity of DAEs and state governments to develop fundable proposals based on the priorities identified in the country programme document with financing models that are innovative and can leverage various types of funds 2) Systematically engaging Businesses and financial institutions to invest in climate actions.
