Call Summary
The Adaptation Fund’s Readiness Programme for Climate Finance aims to help strengthen the capacity of developing country Parties to access climate adaptation finance, particularly through the Direct Access modality, and their overall capacity to develop and initiate implementation of concrete projects and programmes that increase the resilience of vulnerable communities to the impacts of climate change. The programme also aims to advance direct access in developing countries and promotes the accreditation of National Implementing Entities (NIEs) from developing countries that are particularly vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change.
As part of the Readiness Programme, the Adaptation Fund Board decided to make available the Readiness Package Grant as a standing window and replacement for South-South Cooperation Grants under the Readiness Programme to support the accreditation of a National Implementing Entity (NIE) of the Fund. The grant continues to support South-South Cooperation (SSC) through a more comprehensive suit of tools to address accreditation gap areas within NIE candidates/applicants to help them adequately meet the Fund’s accreditation criteria.

Eligibility Criteria

The grant is available as a once off grant per NIE.
