Climate Finance Access Network

To finance the placement of ~10 climate finance advisors in the Pacific over two years, to support the development of bankable projects. The advisors would be positioned in both Member (Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Vanuatu) and SIDS in the Pacific (including Samoa, whihc has expressed interest to become a Member of GGGI). This is aligned with GGGI's Strategic Outcomes, Global Operatonal Priority 1 (catalyzing and accelerating access to climate finance/green investments for members' public and private sector) and potentially others (GOP 4, GOP 5). Good complementary to the work with Pacific NDC Hub (both investment and policy), New Zealand (policy), and GCF Readiness (investment). Moreover, opportunity here to also explore opportunities that these investment projects can feed into Australia's AIFFP - and ADB (drawing on the experience to date with ADB in Southeast Asia). Not to mention the opportunity to receiving funding from Canada for the first time. Though this process, we have already registered GGGI through Global Affairs Canada's systems for international organizations to receive funding.
