The primary objective of the Readiness Support to Strengthen the Philippines’ Capacity and Knowledge on Accessing the Green Climate Fund or Readiness and Preparatory Support Program (RPSP) is to support the CCC in fully implementing its roles and responsibilities as the designated NDA of the Philippines to the GCF. The proposal also seeks additional institutional support for national capacities of government agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), and the academe to develop a monitoring and verification system for climate finance flows in the country, as well as to pursue the ratification of a bilateral agreement between the Philippines and GCF on privileges and immunities.
