The GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme (the Readiness Programme) is designed to support countries’ engagement with the GCF, the building of a pipeline of climate change projects, and enhance country ownership. Resources may be provided in the form of grants or technical assistance.
All developing country parties to the UNFCCC can access the Readiness Programme. The GCF aims for a floor of 50 per cent of the Readiness Support allocation to particularly vulnerable countries, including least developed countries (LDCs), small island developing States (SIDSSmall Islands Developing States: A distinct group of developing countries facing...), and African States.
