Project context, objectives and description
This project aims to support the government of Rwanda for the development of implementation strategies toward operationalization of key climate change frameworks. At the national level, the project aims to strengthen country ownership, coordination and stakeholder’s engagement. At the sub-national level, the project will result into a detailed physical plan integrated with green city development aspects that will serve as enabler for the development of a climate resilient and low carbon urban system development geared towards crowding in private sector investment and project funding proposals for these cities. Readiness programme provides resources for strengthening the institutional capacities of NDA to efficiently engage with the Fund. Within the context of this programme, Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), which is a GCF delivery partner, has collaborated with Rwanda Environment Management Authority (REMA), which is the GCF National Designated Authority (NDA) for Rwanda, and developed a readiness support proposal from July 2017 and was approved by GCF in February 2018. The overall objective of the project is to support the planning and fund mobilization for green city development in Rwanda. This project is aligned with IO3. Improved multi-directional knowledge sharing and learning to empower local and external agents necessary to drive green growth processes in partner governments.
