The approved Readiness support is expected to strengthen Burundi’s climate finance architecture by operationalizing the NDA, implementing a national climate finance strategy, integrating climate policies, and supporting the accreditation of a national direct access entity. It will also develop an investment pipeline through an updated climate finance strategy, two investment-ready concept notes, one SAP funding proposal, and strengthened monitoring, reporting, and verification systems.
By addressing institutional capacity gaps and promoting inclusive stakeholder engagement, the Readiness support will help transform Burundi’s climate finance landscape from fragmented interventions to a coordinated, investment-ready ecosystem that supports national development and climate objectives.
