Synopsis (short abstract) For over a decade, developing countries have been urged to engage in forest sector activities aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and managing forest carbon stocks sustainably. These activities, known as Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation in developing countries (REDD+), are vital for global climate change efforts, as confirmed by the Paris Agreement. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) supports REDD+ initiatives to help countries combat climate change and promote prosperity. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), as a certified accredited entity to the GCF, assists government counterparts in Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America in accessing GCF resources and provides technical support in proposal formulation.

    The Asia-Pacific, home to one quarter of the global population, has the highest proportion (70 percent of storms) of weather-related disaster displacements worldwide. These threats to agriculture and food security make adaptation a crucial priority. The Green Climate Fund (GCF) mitigates these potential dangers by providing funding to agricultural projects to promote climate-resilient agricultural practices. Direct Access Entities (DAEs) provide country ownership of these GCF projects and programmes. DAEs are also best positioned to blend international climate finance with domestic public budgets and private capital to create sustainable financing models, enhancing country ownership.

    Green Climate Fund country programme for Equatorial Guinea 2019
    Also available in:
    The Republic of Equatorial Guinea developed this Country Programme to provide an overview of the national scenario, the country’s political framework and its plans and priorities for combating climate change. The Country Programme includes a set of projects and programmes for submission to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). These projects and programmes meet GCF criteria and reflect national priorities. They are intended to prompt a national paradigm shift. This Country Programme is designed to act as a flexible and continually updated programming framework. It will be subject to periodic reviews and adjustments depending on the country’s plans and programmes. The list of ideas for priority projects or programmes may therefore be subject to changes and updates. The Country Programme is the outcome of a consultation process with various national stakeholders. These include ministries, local institutions, the private sector and civil society, as well as Accredited Entities (AEs) located in the country and the GCF focal point.
