The environment, forestry and tourism ministry, serving as the national designated authority for the Green Climate Fund (GCF), in partnership with the Environmental Investment Fund of Namibia (EIF), will host the Green Climate Fund’s Regional Dialogue with Africa.

The GCF Regional Dialogue with Africa starts today and will continue until 10 November.

The event will bring together national designated authorities and accredited direct access entities (DAEs) from African countries, as well as relevant international accredited entities and other GCF partners, to provide a platform for stakeholders to accelerate their engagement with the GCF.

“The regional dialogue aims at facilitating peer-to-peer learning based on experience and best practices and identifying climate change mitigation and adaptation initiatives, thereby strengthening the impact of GCF in the region,” EIF said in a statement issued on Friday.

It will focus on advancing programming through the development of project ideas for pipelining at national and regional levels, as well as strengthening the capacity of DAEs to develop robust project proposals.

The dialogue will also serve as an opportunity for GCF to learn from stakeholders on their priorities, challenges and recommendations in terms of working with GCF while also fostering collaboration among stakeholders.

Government says it is confident the dialogue will yield fruitful deliberations for enhanced access to funding for climate change actions in the African Region.
