Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFactsheetFactsheet: Increasing direct access to the Green Climate Fund for agriculture in Southeast Asia
A regional assessment of existing and potential Direct Access Entities
2025Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Book (stand-alone)Technical reportIncreasing direct access to the Green Climate Fund for agriculture in Southeast Asia
A regional assessment of existing and potential Direct Access Entities
2025Also available in:
No results found.Direct Access Entities (DAEs) are essential for country ownership of Green Climate Fund (GCF) projects and programmes. National, sub-national and regional organizations accredited by GCF as DAEs directly access and implement the Fund’s resources, aligned with and advancing national strategies, priorities and plans. Significant challenges impede direct access, however, and limit the ability of national, sub-national and regional institutions to become accredited as DAEs. Because of these challenges, only four DAEs have been accredited in the six countries participating in the Agriculture Sector Readiness for enhanced climate finance and implementation of Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture priorities in Southeast Asia project (ASEAN GCF Readiness project), despite the urgent need for more country-driven climate finance in these countries, particularly for the agriculture sector.In response to this need, the ASEAN GCF Readiness project conducted an assessment to identify potential DAEs in the agriculture sector, understand challenges faced by existing and potential DAEs related to accreditation, and assess opportunities for DAEs to mobilize GCF resources for climate adaptation and mitigation in the agriculture sector. The assessment found that there are at least 20 national and regional organizations across the six countries positioned for, interested in or pursuing accreditation as DAEs to mobilize GCF resources for agriculture. Additional findings address challenges faced by potential and existing DAEs to help increase direct access, enhance country ownership, and mobilize more GCF resources for climate-resilient and low-emission agriculture in Southeast Asia. -
DocumentOther documentGreen 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.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
2025While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030. -
