Objectives
The project overall objective is to remove barriers hindering local governments to access climate finance, in particular to global funds.
Main Components/Outputs
The project has one major component (outcome) which is to equip pilot municipalities to address barriers to access climate finance through the establishment of innovative supporting mechanisms and in collaboration with relevant national partner’s needs, based on existing policies, strategies, and local planning instruments. This will be achieved through four major approaches including (i) Establishment of required institutional support; (ii) Piloting; (iii) Learning; and (iv) Scaling-up: Capturing, documentation, dissemination of lessons learnt from the formulation process and up-scaling to other local governments.
