The present proposal aims to scale up the country’s climate finance readiness to further increase the Green Climate Fund’s engagement and investments in the country. Thus, to address the country’s readiness needs, the NDA proposes to extend its cooperation with GIZ as a delivery partner and to apply a holistic approach focusing in four key areas:

• Acquiring the necessary knowledge and skills to engage with the private sector;
• Supporting the accreditation of a direct access entity;
• Identifying GCF project development opportunities along the Thai priorities and mechanisms to facilitate access to finance;
• Raising awareness and building capacity of Thai private sector stakeholders on GCF engagement benefits and opportunities.
