NDA Strengthening and Country Programming support for Tunisia through OSS
Tunisia is one of the Mediterranean countries most vulnerable to climate change. It signed and ratified the UNFCCC in 1992 and 1993 respectively and registered some achievements on both mitigation and adaptation fronts since then. In 2012, Tunisia developed its National Strategy on Climate Change (SNCC) in a bid to try and bring together, in a coherent way, the multiple and varied approaches for addressing climate change issues. In 2015, it developed and submitted its Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC) to the UNFCCC secretariat. The engagement with the GCF is seen as an opportunity to access significant resources to finance the implementation of its SNCC and its INDC. This request for readiness support will therefore contribute to filling capacity gaps, thus enhancing Tunisia’s effective engagement with the Fund.
