Because of its wide range of responsibilities and functions and its small staff size, the Climate Change Division (CCD) is currently not in a position to adequately and expeditiously provide the on-going technical personnel support needed to adequately perform some of its functions as NDA. Nevertheless, given Jamaica’s vulnerability to climate change impacts and the country’s promptness to undertake adaptation initiatives, it is important that CCD maintains and strengthens its engagement with the Green Climate Fund. This proposal therefore presents a request for readiness support to allow for strengthening of the NDA and development of a country programme for the GCF.
