The Green Climate Fund is the world’s largest dedicated fund for climate action. It was established as the financing mechanism for the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2010, tasked with supporting developing and transition countries as they scale up their efforts to meet the Paris Agreement target of keeping the global temperature rise below 2° Celsius.
As a GCF Accredited Entity and specialized agency of the United Nations, FAO provides countries with the necessary support to develop funding proposals and implement transformative GCF projects that have low to medium levels of environmental and social risk and up to USD 250 million in grants and co-financing.
In its role as a Delivery Partner for the GCF’s Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme, FAO extends its expertise and know-how by collaborating with other Accredited Entities to deliver results and implement activities of approved GCF projects. FAO’s portfolio as a GCF implementing partner, valued at USD 58.5 million, includes projects in the Central American Dry Corridor and the Arid Zones of the Dominican Republic, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Palestine, Paraguay, Timor-Leste, and Zambia.
OED is responsible for conducing the mid-term and final evaluations of the GCF portfolio of projects implemented by FAO starting from April 2022. These evaluations will include large beneficiary surveys and will be conducted in collaboration with the national project partners.
