The World Health Organization has recently become a Green Climate Fund (GCF) Readiness Delivery Partner, and as such, it is supporting countries in accessing GCF Readiness funds to strengthen adaptation planning and develop strategic frameworks for their programming with the GCF.
The GCF Readiness Programme provides up to USD $1 million per country per year for institutional capacity building, coordination, policy and planning, and programming for investment, and up to USD $3 million per country for the formulation of National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) and/or other adaptation planning processes.
