At its tenth meeting, the Board of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) established a pilot programme to support micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter referred to as the Programme) in order to address adaptation and mitigation.

The Board allocated up to USD 200 million for the Programme over the course of the Initial Resource Mobilization period, in several tranches. The GCF Secretariat will seek to allocate at least USD 100 million for developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, including least developed countries (LDCs), small island developing States (SIDS) and African States, over the course of the Programme. This first request for proposal (RfFP) issuance will be limited to USD 100 million as a first allocation under the Programme.

This RfFP seeks to identify organizations that will undertake the design, implementation and management of strong, high-impact projects and programmes in support of micro-, smalland medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the climate space.
