The primary objective of this readiness support is to strengthen the capacity of the National Rural Support Programme (NRSP) by addressing the remaining post-accreditation capacity gaps and extending the NRSP's ability to develop and submit highly relevant projects for the country. This readiness will also assist the National Designated Authority (NDA) in updating Pakistan's GCF Country Programme (CP). The updated CP will reflect Pakistan's latest climate impact and emissions scenarios, priority commitments, and actions and include extended stakeholder and private sector engagement strategies. The pipeline of priority projects embedded into the updated CP will in its turn guide the NRSP’s project development effort under this requested support.
