The NDA in collaboration with the delivery partner, which is the Environmental Invest‐ ment Fund of Namibia (EIF), plans to use the requested grant to fill some of the identified gaps and shortcomings at the NDA which impede the NDA’s ability to address the impact of climate change effectively in the country. Three key areas of improvement have been singled out i.e. strengthening of the NDA institutional capacity; develop strategic frame‐ work for engagement with the GCF, including the preparation of country programmes; and provision of effective support for accreditation to aspiring national institutions.
