81291180 - Strengthening the capacity of Direct Access Entities through the CPDAE
This Readiness project is part of an ongoing effort to further the complementarity and coherence between the Adaptation Fund (AF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) through the Community of Practice for Direct Access Entities (CPDAE).
The AF and the GCF have been promoting Direct Access Modality as a best practice approach to enhance country ownership of climate projects and ensure that developing countries remain in the driving seat of climate finance. In that regard, the AF"s National Implementing Entities (NIEs) and the GCF"s Direct Access Entities (DAEs) are important to promote country ownership and understanding national priorities and contributions towards low-emission and climate-resilient development pathways.
Moreover, the GCF and AF secretariats have jointly agreed to support NIEs and DAEs to increase their effectiveness in accessing climate finance resources and develop and implement adaptation and mitigation projects and programs by providing an avenue for knowledge exchange, learning and experience sharing, collaboration and peer-to-peer support through the CPDAE. As one of the key activities under the Knowledge Management & Capacity Building pillar of the 2019-2021 Climate Funds Collaboration Roadmap, the CPDAE Readiness was recognized as an important milestone delivering climate action through DAEs. Supporting the CPDAE initiative is also part of broader efforts to enhance the complementarity and coherence between the GCF and the AF.
The CPDAE, a network composed of NIEs and DAEs, led and driven by its own members with an elected committee that coordinates its work, has made significant efforts in structuring its governance framework since its creation in 2019.
These efforts include the establishment of its first elected committee; the adoption of a Charter of Governance as part of its governance framework, laying down initial ground rules and expectations, defining the purpose of the CPDAE"s existence, providing a first glance of the roles and responsibilities of different actors (CPDAE committee, CPDAE members, Funders (GCF, AF)); and the development of an Action Plan.
Nevertheless, the CPDAE is still at an early stage and there are several gaps that hinder its full operationalization and the optimal performance of its members. These include:
i. Lack of specific features in the existing governance framework and limited communication and outreach mechanisms;
ii. Absence of a strategic framework and implementation roadmaps adapted to each language group from the CPDAE (English, Spanish and French) and a M&E framework;
iii. Lack of appropriate and dedicated materials and platform for knowledge management and lessons sharing within the CPDAE and key stakeholders (NDAs, AF, GCF, other);
iv. Insufficient in-house capacities of the entities for projects design, development, implementation and evaluation, as well as for re-accreditation/accreditation upgrade process;
v. Difficulties for identifying and manage high quality experts to support project design and development.
In that sense, the aim of this Readiness is to strengthen the CPDAE at an institutional level, and the capacity of its members to perform better and access climate finance and develop and implement adaptation and mitigation projects and programs efficiently.
This will be done by strengthening the CPDAE governance framework and communication and outreach mechanisms; building the capacity of CPDAE members on various technical issues that would allow them to address the above-mentioned gaps and deliver on their mandate; and by improving the understanding of CPDAE members of the re-accreditation/accreditation upgrade processes. This Readiness will also support the preparation of a pipeline of projects for CPDAE members and/or the improvement of existing concept notes (CNs), in coordination with their respective NDAs, and the design of adequate knowledge and lesson-sharing materials for CPDAE members to better perform their duties as DAEs and NIEs.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Adaptation Fund (AF) have been promoting Direct Access Modality as a best practice approach to enhance country ownership of climate projects and ensure that countries, which are most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, remain in the driving seat of climate finance.
In that context, the GCF and AF secretariats have jointly agreed to support Direct Access Entities (DAEs) and National Implementing Entities (NIEs) to increase their effectiveness in accessing climate finance resources and develop and implement adaptation and mitigation projects and programs by providing an avenue for knowledge exchange, learning and experience sharing, collaboration and peer-to-peer support through the Community of Practice for Direct Access Entities (CPDAE). The CPDAE, a network composed of NIEs and DAEs, led and driven by its own members with an elected committee that coordinates its work, has made significant efforts in structuring its governance framework since its creation in 2019.
Although DAEs and NIEs have benefited from various capacity building supports in the past, the evidence is that they lack, at different levels, adequate institutional, human and technical capacity to develop, submit and implement high-quality funding proposals at entry and have been facing various challenges in the re-accreditation/accreditation upgrade processes.
In order to tackle these problems and tap into existing expertise and skills within DAEs/NIEs, the CPDAE has been established to promote lessons learned and experience sharing and build the capacity of its members towards improving the quality of adaptation and mitigation projects and programs at entry. Yet, support is still needed to transcend the capacity of the community to respond to urgent needs, access GCF and AF resources, and develop and implement impactful adaptation and mitigation projects and programs.
The CPDAE Readiness Project
Building on existing support and momentum, this CPDAE Readiness lays the groundwork for long-term capacity building at national and sub-national levels and enables DAEs and NIEs to fulfil their mandate, including developing high-quality Concept notes (CNs)/Funding proposals (FPs).
The GIZ project "Partnering for Readiness" (PfR) will assume the Delivery Partner role in this Readiness project. PfR"s main objective is to increase its partner countries" access to climate finance and to build their capacities to independently apply for, implement, and monitor climate change funds. To achieve this goal, PfR takes a partnership-focused approach based on knowledge sharing, peer exchange, and mutual learning.
The Readiness Project "Strengthening the capacity of Direct Access Entities through the Community of Practice for Direct Access Entities (CPDAE) to access climate finance and implement adaptation and mitigation programs and projects" aims to strengthen the CPDAE at an institutional level, and the capacity of its members to perform and access better climate finance and develop and implement adaptation and mitigation projects and programs more efficiently.
Specifically, the outcomes and outputs of the Readiness proposal include:
- Outcome 1.2: Accreditation / re-accreditation upgrade and capacity building support for DAEs and NIEs:
- Output 1.2.1: Governance Framework (CPDAE Charter of Governance and Committee guidelines) of the CPDAE is updated.
- Output 1.2.2: CPDAE Strategic Framework, Roadmaps and M&E Framework developed.
- Output 1.2.3: CPDAE communication and outreach mechanisms strengthened.
- Output 1.2.4: The capacity of CPDAE members on climate projects design and implementation is strengthened, which allows them to deliver on their mandate.
- Output 1.2.5: CPDAE members have developed re-accreditation / accreditation upgrade self-assessment tool adapted to the CPDAE needs and challenges and have built their capacity on re-accreditation / accreditation upgrade processes.
- Outcome 4.2: Pipeline development for DAEs and NIEs.
- Output 4.2.1: CPDAE members" project pipelines updated / improved building on the Country Programme and a roster of experts to support the development of CNs/FP identified.
- Outcome 5.1: Best practices and experience sharing.
- Output 5.1.1: The CPDAE has efficient knowledge sharing materials on project design and implementation available for its members.
Objective of this assignment
To date, DAEs are at different levels of engagement with GCF and AF. Submitted project CNs and FPs are often overall not sufficiently meeting the GCF or AF requirements or not sufficiently articulated in alignment with the respective country"s priorities as most of them have capacity constraints. DAEs have very few approved projects compared to international accredited entities and there is a need to update/improve their pipeline of projects.
The objective of the assignment is to support selected CPDAE members in prioritising and improving their project pipelines for GCF or AF. This assignment contributes to the achievement of the Output 4.2.1, namely, activity 4.2.1.a of the Readiness proposal as follows:
- Support the realization of working sessions between CPDAE members and their respective NDA to define and prioritize transformational projects that are suitable for both, the country and the CPDAE member, building on the Country Programme and based on the project prioritization tool / methodology developed. As part of the working sessions, the entities and the NDAs will take advantage of this space to discuss updates on the implementation of this readiness request and align expectation
- Support each CPDAE member in advancing the development of one prioritized project. This includes supporting each CPDAE member to prioritize one project, identify the gaps and needs to advance the prioritized project into a Concept Note in relation to GCF and AF requirements, or if needed by the entity improve one existing Concept Note.
