With UNDP as delivery partner, Sudan seeks to strengthen its capacities to access GCF resources in the short, medium, and long-term in order to enhance climate resilient and low-carbon development in line with its country climate change obligations, development priorities and objectives, and the Fund’s Initial Investment Framework.

The objective of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Readiness and Preparatory Support Project is to support the Government of Sudan through its GCF National Designated Authority in strengthening their national capacities to effectively and efficiently plan for, access, manage, deploy and monitor climate financing through the GCF. The readiness activities will be planned and implemented in line with national policies and priorities. In addition, the project will target two important aspects of the GCF approach, direct access to funds and private sector engagement, both of which will require significant preparatory work before GCF financing.
