The Government of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis is committed to tackling the adverse impacts of climate change through the implementation of ambitious policies and actions enshrined in its NDCs. However, to enable St. Kitts and Nevis to achieve its desired national goals and to access climate finance, there is need to identify the institutional gaps and needs and strengthen institutional capacity and effective coordination mechanisms. This Readiness will build the capacity of potential DAE applicants and identify gaps to be filled, and needs to be met, to increase likelihood of accreditation to the GCF. The Readiness is also important for realizing a policy, an Operation Plan and Capacity Building Plan to support the establishment of  a National Meteorological Service. Further, this readiness will enable the NDA to apply a Programmatic Approach to Readiness financing, support the development of one concept note and share lessons learnt among DAEs.
