EMPOWERING DIRECT ACCESS WORKSHOP:

The workshop supported organisations seeking Direct Access Entity accreditation, as well

as helping accredited Direct Access Entities develop high-quality projects or programmes

to submit to GCF, based on their alignment with national priorities. It provided

participants with information about GCF’s readiness programme, project preparation

facility, and specific requests for proposals such as the Enhancing Direct Access pilot and

the Simplified Approval Process (SAP). The workshop also covered updates about GCF

policies and procedures.

16:00 – 17:00 Closing Remarks

Mr Karma Tshering, Board Representative for Least Developed Countries, GCF

GCF affirms its commitment to Least Developed Countries:

ADDIS ABABA, 23 NOV 2018

On 19 – 22 November, the Green Climate Fund, in cooperation with the Government of Ethiopia and

the Least Developed Countries' constituency under the UNFCCC, held the Structured Dialogue with

Least Developed Countries (LDCs) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The event aimed to accelerate and

strengthen GCF engagement with the countries and entities in the LDCs.

“This meeting was an opportunity to transform the strategic initiatives of LDCs into advanced actions

through partnership and collaboration with development partners, mainly GCF, in its vital support to

build a more economically vibrant, socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable development

throughout LDCs.” said Dr Fekadu Beyene, Commissioner, Environment, Forest and Climate

Commission of Ethiopia.

“This meeting was a classic example of the sustainable support needed from international climate

finance organizations in assisting the efforts of Least Developed Countries in realizing their vision of

tackling the negative impacts of climate change and efficient utilization of opportunities.” he added,

Ayaan Adam, Director of Private Sector Facility at GCF, noted the importance of LDCs to the Fund:

“Our engagement in the LDCs regions reflects the breadth of transformative climate action necessary

in the countries that are the most vulnerable to climate change, whose special circumstances need to

be carefully taken into account.”

The GCF is a special institution with a diversity of financing instruments and support programmes.

Through this, we can work across the spectrum of climate change needs in LDC regions, responding

to LDCs’ geographic and economic diversity. It is with pride that we will continue to work hard to

become in a near future, a financing partner for all 47 countries in the Least Developed Countries.”

she said.

The event brought together GCF partners in the LDCs, including National Designated Authorities

(NDAs) and Focal Points (FPs), Accredited Entities (AEs) and other stakeholders. They had an

opportunity to exchange experiences and best practices in promoting sustainable development as

well as increase the understanding of GCF procedures and boost the engagement with the Fund.

Least Developed Countries are the most vulnerable to the damaging effects of climate change. Their

economic development and growth highly depend on climate-sensitive sectors. LCDs has been one of

the main priority regions for the GCF. The Fund has approved 34 funding proposals in LCDs worth 2.8

billion dollars of GCF resources, leveraging co-financing of over 1.6 billion dollars. 17 projects are

dedicated for adaptation, 6 for mitigation, and 11 cross-cutting addressing synergies between

adaptation and mitigation. Supporting adaptation in the most vulnerable regions is a major strategic

priority for GCF. To this date, 70% of all GCF adaptation funding goes LDCs, SIDs & Africa. In addition,

GCF provided Readiness support to 36 LDCs, boosting their capacity to engage with GCF, develop

projects and tackle the challenge of climate change.
