Preparation of Tunisia for Climate Finance and establishment of the National Designated Authority - Readiness program of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) | Readiness Tunisia

The project aims to establish a National Designated Authority (NDA) and strengthen its institutional capacity to effectively fulfill its role and responsibilities towards the GCF. It will facilitate the development, through a participatory process, of a national program to address the adverse impacts of climate change, which will take into account national priorities for adaptation and mitigation, as well as the GCF requirements.

Phase 2 of the project will focus on building the capacities of the NDA and key national stakeholders (Institutions, Ministries, Agencies, etc.) on procedures and the development of projects or investment programs for the GCF.
