Synopsis (short abstract) FAO, an accredited entity to the Green Climate Fund, is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing and mitigating the current and potential impacts of the pandemic on GCF-funded projects. This Q&A looks at how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting FAO’s GCF-related work – e.g. project timelines, funding proposal submissions, and upcoming GCF Board meeting dates – as well as the measures that are being put in place to mitigate these impacts. The information presented may be of interest to GCF National Designated Authorities, focal points, government counterparts, and stakeholders in general.

    Green Climate Fund handbook for North Macedonia 2019
    Also available in:
    The Green Climate Fund Handbook for North Macedonia was prepared by the FAO Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia, under the leadership and guidance of the Cabinet of the Deputy President of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia in charge of Economic Affairs as National Designated Authority to the Green Climate Fund (GCF). This technical document was developed in the context of the implementation of the first GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support grant, under the overall coordination of Ms Tania Santivanez, Lead Technical Officer and Ms Carmen Arguello Lopez, FAO GCF Advisor. The document introduces key facts about the Green Climate Fund. It aims to provide guidance to stakeholders engaged in the area of climate change and sustainable development on how to access GCF resources and implement GCF-funded projects in North Macedonia. It is expected that these efforts will contribute to the successful implementation of the Nationally Determined Contributions and to overall achievement of the objective of the United Nations Convention on Climate Change and SDG 13 on Climate Action.

    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.
