Approach in Action

Climate Finance Access and Climate Projects

From climate priorities to accredited entities, a pipeline and proposals that funds accept.

The problem we solve

Countries and entities with real climate needs often struggle to access funds: priorities are not turned into projects, proposals lack a clear climate rationale, and fiduciary and safeguards standards are not yet met.

Our method, phase by phase

1

Readiness assessment

  • Review strategy, coordination and roles
  • Assess entities against fund standards
  • Review the existing pipeline
Deliverable: Readiness assessment
2

Pipeline

  • Turn priorities into project ideas with evidence
  • Screen ideas against fund criteria
  • Identify co-financing
Deliverable: Prioritised pipeline
3

Proposal development

  • Climate rationale with data
  • Theory of change, results and economics
  • Gender assessment and consultations
Deliverable: Concept notes and proposals
4

Standards and accreditation

  • Close fiduciary and safeguards gaps
  • Policies, procedures and evidence of use
  • Accreditation application support
Deliverable: Gap closure plan and documents
5

Capability

  • Training for proposal and project teams
  • Internal review before submission
  • Results and reporting routines
Deliverable: Trained team and review routine
