While the Environmental Fund Division (EFD) is currently being supported by an ongoing Readiness Support Programme to assess its potential to become a direct access entity (DAE) under the GCF and support its initial application steps, the present proposal intends to support the Environmental Fund Division in strengthening its capacities to act as a national climate funding mechanism by providing tailored advice on the integration of climate change in the Environmental Fund Division’s portfolio and procedures, delivering trainings for practical knowledge on GCF’s operational policies to advance the accreditation request as well as advice the EFD on its public visibility and communication.
