The GCF Readiness has provided the opportunity for the Niue’s NDA to begin assessing and identifying gaps in the government systems, networks and policies in order to strengthen its capacity so that it can fulfil its role to the GCF (and other climate finance donors) and support the country to realise its climate ambitions through accessing climate finance.
The Niue Readiness 2 requests support from the GCF to build upon outputs achieved from Readiness 1 to:
i. Continue strengthening the capacity of the NDA, embedding and improving its new processes and systems.
ii. Progress work for the accreditation of a national Direct Access Entity.
iii. Strengthen the capacity of the Private Sector to support climate finance activities, projects and national priorities.
iv. Strengthen strategic frameworks to guide and inform stakeholders on Niue’s priorities and needs to realise climate change ambitions.
v. Develop and submit concept notes through the Pipeline
Under Readiness 2 Niue also seeks to:
vi. Document and share best practices and lessons learned from Readiness and other climate finance activities to help other Pacific Island countries in the sub-region and further afield.
