FAO’s final steps towards the completion of Green Climate
Fund Readiness Programme in the Islamic Republic of Iran

The GCF Readiness Project has contributed to the Low Carbon
Economy and Climate Change Outcome of the current United Nations Development
Assistance Framework and has been able to achieve all of its planned results
over the past two years. The project focussed on empowering the NDA and
strengthening capacity in the country. Moreover, different mechanisms,
procedures, frameworks, and strategies were developed during the project’s
lifetime. 

“Throughout the implementation of this Project, FAO, as the
delivery partner, has always stayed committed to providing its technical
expertise, data and tools to support the country in its efforts to strengthen
the national capacities to effectively access and efficiently manage, track and
guide climate financing with particular attention to the requirements of the
GCF” said Mr Gerold Bödeker, FAO Representative to the Islamic Republic of Iran
in his workshop opening address.

Aligned with the objectives of this three-day workshop,
requisite knowledge and skills were shared with the participants on four major
topics, including Stakeholder Engagement, Women and Youth, Climate Finance
Strategic Investment and Foundational Skills and Approaches for Pipeline
Development.

FAO being the lead UN agency driving global efforts on
sustainable and climate-smart agriculture, offers its technical expertise to
member countries in support of their efforts to plan, have access to and
implement GCF funding, as well as report on climate change related adaptation
and mitigation measures in agriculture.
