Historical records of the construction and strengthening of the Designated National Authority.
Meeting of members of the NDA Advisory Committee
The creation and strengthening of the National Designated Authority (NDA) is a tool for improving the coordination mechanisms for climate financing, as well as a window for the feasibility of financing climate change adaptation and mitigation projects in a more coordinated and efficient way, a priority that is focused on the National Strategy for Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation (ENAMMC).
Given the NDA's responsibilities in the process of approving and submitting proposals for projects for the GCF, in 2019, working sessions of the NDA Advisory Committee were held, with the participation of all members, with the aim of:
- Consider proposals for projects received from tenderers for examination of technical opinions to be submitted for approval to the GCF.
Advisory Committee visits Rwanda and Kenya
A team consisting of members of the Advisory Committee of the Designated National Authority visited Rwanda and Kenya to gather experience on climate finance, within the framework of the Green Climate Fund NDA Readyness Support Package. The main objectives of the visit were:
- sharing experience with Rwandan and Kenyan institutions linked to climate change, with tasks similar to those of Mozambique in GCF related matters, best strategies to support climate change and practices in climate options, focusing on adaptation and mitigation;
- To perceive the main challenges in strengthening the technical capacity of the NDA in the formulation of well-founded technical opinions, aligned with the country's priority and with the GCF criteria;
- Climate financing options for sustainable rural development.
Key lessons (summary):
- Rwanda: the national fund FONERWA (Fund for the Environment and Climate Change) manages domestic and international climate financing, betting more on credits than grants; ministerial frameworks in climate change were formed. The GGGI highlighted political will and zero tolerance to corruption as good practices.
- Kenya: several accredited entities, including NEMA (national implementation agency), multilateral organisations and UN agencies; the private sector (e.g. KCB) also seeks accreditation.
Ministerial Delegation of the Government of Mozambique and the World Bank visits Mexico
An 18-member Ministerial Delegation from the Government of Mozambique and the World Bank visited Mexico in 2018:
- Gains experience in the various areas of rural development, natural resource management, access to GCF funds, NDA models and the NDA Advisory Committee;
- Strengthening relations between countries with prospects for the exchange of further experience in the future.
NDA delegation visits Zimbabwe
A delegation from the NDA visited Zimbabwe with the aim of gathering experiences on the functioning of the GCF, as well as on the process of setting up the Designated National Authority.
Partnership between the Government of Mozambique and the World Bank
In the framework of the partnership between the Government of Mozambique and the World Bank (WB), two national seminars were held, with the support of the World Bank, which produced the following results:
- The World Bank and the MEF have agreed an annual plan to strengthen the NDA (July 2017 to June 2018), with a budget of USD 145,000;
- World Bank technical assistance for the operation of the NDA;
- financing for the preparation of the NDA procedure manual;
- Preparation of key NDA documents: Vision, Mission and Mandate.
GCF Board approves more than US$ 1 billion in funding for climate mitigation and adaptation
The first 2018 meeting of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Council approved 23 projects, with a total of around US$ 1.09 billion.
- With these approvals, the GCF portfolio now includes 76 projects and programmes, with about US$ 3.73 billion in financing;
- Co-chairmen of the Council were elected for 2018 Lennart Båge (developed countries) and Paul Oquist (developed countries);
- A Policy for Indigenous Peoples and an Environmental and Social Policy were adopted and more US$ 60 million to the Preparation Programme (Readiness).
