The Adaptation Fund Climate Finance Readiness Programme includes a component aimed at increasing South-South cooperation among accredited National Implementing Entities (NIEs) and those seeking accreditation. Under this activity, developing countries that are Parties to the Kyoto Protocol and do not yet have an accredited NIE may receive support from an accredited NIE in one or more of the following areas: (i) identifying potential NIE candidates; (ii) assisting NIE candidates in the preparation of applications to be submitted to the Fund; (iii) providing support and advice during the application process. It is expected that such peer support will effectively help build national capacity and sustainability.

Eligibility and selection criteria:

NIEs eligible to provide support will be those entities that have tangible achievements with the Fund. The selection will be based on the entity’s experience with the Adaptation Fund, including in project preparation and implementation, and in supporting other countries at different stages of their application processes. 

Eligible NIEs must meet ALL of the following criteria:

The maximum grant is US$ 50,000 per applicant.
