These proposals seek the technical strengthening of a portfolio of prioritized projects through prefeasibility studies, financial structuring, national social and environmental safeguards guides.

Specifically, 3 proposals are presented:

• Support for the design of financial structuring for prioritized proposals: One of the main barriers during the formulation of local projects is the design of financial structures that assure a sustainable financing with minimal concessionality in the long term. Thus, the objective of this proposal is to support the design of financial structuring of a group of prioritized projects at national level. This work will be coordinated by the Corporación de Fomento Productivo (CORFO) and will enable the strengthening of private financing involvement.
• Concept Note preparation support: The proposal seeks to support the development of three projects / programs that are located in areas prioritized by the GCF, and have the potential for replicability, not only in different regions and municipalities of the country, but also in other developing countries. During the development ofeach Concept Note, the analysis of a gender action plan will be considered to ensure that the proposed activities will be as inclusive as possible.
• Development of a National Social and Environmental Safeguards Policy Framework: The objective of the proposed consultancy is to elaborate National Social and Environmental Safeguard Policies existing in the country that enable any/all institutions, irrespective of their nature or type of project that they may implement, to adopt these policies and therefore allow Chile to comply with this GCF requirement for the accreditation process. This policy will also serve as a guide to future projects submitted to the Green Climate Fund.
