The PPF grant will enable the development and submission of a high-quality Funding Proposal. Although Conservation International has funded the preparation of the Concept Note and PPF application, and will cofinance the Funding Proposal development, additional resources are needed due to the complexity of the project and the complexity of project area, the more densely populated of the country. The paradigm shift and impact potential that the project will aim to achieve is ambitious because it aims to making structural changes in policy, governance, financial incentives and water sector overall intervention logic. Thus, PPF will support the development of high-quality and in-depth feasibility studies and a robust project design to ensure project outcomes can be achieved and sustained over time. In particular, PPF will advise on technical, legal, financial, regulatory and governance matters to assess feasibility and support design of project envisioned financial, governance and science-based solutions and field interventions to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the results; and generation of adaptation outcomes to people, livelihoods and ecosystems. In addition, the complex conglomerate of regional and local actors needs to be continuously engaged during the FP development to maximize buy-in of the activities proposed and local ownership during the implementation. Each of the 7 intervention areas have their own challenges and power dynamics, and PPF activities will make possible to conduct a strong stakeholder engagement and consultation process in all project areas and to develop environmental, social and gender studies in line with GCF policies.
