The Government of St. Kitts and Nevis is committed to tackling the adverse impacts of climate change through the implementation of ambitious policies and actions enshrined in its NDCs. However, to enable St. Kitts and Nevis to achieve its desired national goals and to access climate finance, there is a needis need to identify the institutional gaps and needs and strengthen institutional capacity and effective coordination mechanisms. In this context, the CCCCC has received financing from the GCF for the project “Capacity Building to Support Accreditation, Planning, Programming and Implementation of GCF-Funded Activities in St. Kitts and Nevis”, to identify the best candidates for accreditation and support their efforts toward possibly gaining accreditation to GCF.

Main tasks:

  • Deliver training on the GCF and its financing instruments and the accreditation process, covering the topics project management, fiduciary standards, Environmental and Social Safeguards (ESS) and Gender;
  • Provide guidance to the NDA;
  • Develop two Stakeholder Engagement Plans for the accreditation process and project development and implementation;
  • Develop a Capacity Development Plan inclusive of ESS and Gender Policies to facilitate nomination of DAE’s for accreditation.

Main outputs:

  • Training resources (including resource materials, recording of virtual training sessions and a Training Report to capture recommendations for future trainings;
  • Guidance materials (templates and support for completing self-assessment questionnaires for interested potential DAEs) and for the NDA to identify potential entities to be nominated for accreditation;
  • Two Stakeholder Engagement Plans tailored to for nominated entities;
