Vanuatu Green Climate Fund Readiness Program
Vanuatu Green Climate Fund Readiness Program
In 2016, the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation requested Green Climate Fund Readiness Support. Implementation began in 2017 and consists of two distinctive work programmes: (1) The strengthening of the NDA, and (2) the development of a strategic engagement framework with the fund, referred to as the Country Programme. The Country Programme will form the basis for Vanuatu’s continuous strategic engagement with the GCF.
OBJECTIVE: To put Vanuatu and its National Designated Authority (NDA) on a path towards enhanced engagement with the Green Climate fund (GCF) and to improve its ownership and governance of climate finance in order to better address the real impacts of those most vulnerable to climate change.
WORKING UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE NAB SECRETARIAT
NDA/Focal Point: Director-General of the Ministry of Climate Change Adaptation, Jesse Benjamin (jbenjamin@vanuatu.gov.vu)
