The Readiness Programme is first aiming at strengthening the Mozambique National Designated Authority by establishing a coordination mechanism with an Advisory Committee (resulting in no-objection procedure) and preparing and carrying out an institutional capacity plan. Means of implementation will consist in a robust consultative process (including private sector sensitization and detection of potential direct access applicants for accreditation) relying on the support of a team of consultants bringing several complementary competencies. The deployment of the support will also enable the development of the strategic framework for engagement with the GCF, through preparation of the national climate finance strategy and the GCF country programme, and building-up the structured dialogue with Accredited Entities including national applicant(s) for GCF accreditation.
