Low carbon, climate resilient project design

Direct access occurs when national or regional entities become accredited to receive finance directly from climate funds. It does not require finance to be channeled through international organisations, such as UN agencies or multilateral development banks.

Enabling direct access may have a number of benefits, including increased country ownership and capacity to develop and implement climate projects as well as reduced transaction costs. The Green Climate Fund’s (GCF) Direct Access Modality seeks to achieve these outcomes through a number of special forms of assistance, including: its Readiness Programme, Project Preparation Facility, Simplified Approval Process and the new Enhanced Direct Access Programme. 

We invite you to take our 17th GCF insight survey. Your responses will form the basis of our 17th GCF insight report, which will be shared with the wider GCF community and GCF Secretariat.

The survey has been extended and now closes Tuesday 16th February at 11:59pm GMT.
