Roles of NDAs and focal points
Access to Green Climate Fund resources
• Through a country-driven approach, the National Designated Authority (NDA) of a country can facilitate the strategy by which it will address climate change, and provide broad strategic oversight of the Fund’s activities in the country
• Access to Fund resources to undertake climate change projects/programmes will be through accredited national, regional and international entities
• Therefore, it is important to match likely countries priorities/activities with entities who are able to provide this avenue/modality of access and support.
