Capacity Building & Training

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) provided the Government of Bhutan with a grant to strengthen the capacity of the National Designated Authority (NDA) to access GCF resources and support its direct access accreditation process. The 18-month project aimed to strengthen the institutional capacities of the Focal Point and direct access entities to efficiently engage with the GCF and develop a country program.

Outcomes

We delivered the following solutions to ensure compliance:

  • Established a nationally appropriate 'no objection' procedure according to the GCF guidelines.
  • Submitted recommendations to strengthen the coordination mechanism between various stakeholders.
  • Instituted a Country Coordination Committee with member representatives from key sectors to review project ideas and proposals against GCF technical guidelines and advise the NDA.
