LoCAL (UNCDF)

This report identifies opportunities for LoCAL to support sub-national governments in NDC implementation. To this end, a sample of 11 countries were analysed where LoCAL has established a strong presence and programme over several years: Bangladesh, Benin, Bhutan, Cambodia, Ghana, Lao PDR, Mali, Mozambique, Nepal, Niger and Tanzania. This analysis compared each country’s NDC to its LoCAL investment menu to determine their alignment, identifying initiatives frequently included in both so as to understand how LoCAL initiatives can support achievement of a country’s NDC.
