GCF Report Back Summary on the Workshop & Technical Wrap
Up
Mr Pa Ousman Jarju, Director of Country Programming, GCF
16:00 – 17:00 Closing Remarks
Mr Karma Tshering, Board Representative for Least Developed
Countries, GCF
GCF affirms its commitment to Least Developed Countries:
ADDIS ABABA, 23 NOV 2018
On 19 – 22 November, the Green Climate Fund, in cooperation with
the Government of Ethiopia and
the Least Developed Countries' constituency under the UNFCCC,
held the Structured Dialogue with
Least Developed Countries (LDCs) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The
event aimed to accelerate and
strengthen GCF engagement with the countries and entities in the
LDCs.
“This meeting was an opportunity to transform the strategic
initiatives of LDCs into advanced actions
through partnership and collaboration with development partners,
mainly GCF, in its vital support to
build a more economically vibrant, socially inclusive and
environmentally sustainable development
throughout LDCs.” said Dr Fekadu Beyene, Commissioner,
Environment, Forest and Climate
Commission of Ethiopia.
“This meeting was a classic example of the sustainable support
needed from international climate
finance organizations in assisting the efforts of Least
Developed Countries in realizing their vision of
tackling the negative impacts of climate change and efficient
utilization of opportunities.” he added,
Ayaan Adam, Director of Private Sector Facility at GCF, noted
the importance of LDCs to the Fund:
“Our engagement in the LDCs regions reflects the breadth of
transformative climate action necessary
in the countries that are the most vulnerable to climate change,
whose special circumstances need to
be carefully taken into account.”
The GCF is a special institution with a diversity of financing
instruments and support programmes.
Through this, we can work across the spectrum of climate change
needs in LDC regions, responding
to LDCs’ geographic and economic diversity. It is with pride
that we will continue to work hard to
become in a near future, a financing partner for all 47
countries in the Least Developed Countries.”
she said.

The event brought together GCF partners in the LDCs, including
National Designated Authorities
(NDAs) and Focal Points (FPs), Accredited Entities (AEs) and
other stakeholders. They had an
opportunity to exchange experiences and best practices in
promoting sustainable development as
well as increase the understanding of GCF procedures and boost
the engagement with the Fund.
Least Developed Countries are the most vulnerable to the
damaging effects of climate change. Their
economic development and growth highly depend on
climate-sensitive sectors. LCDs has been one of
the main priority regions for the GCF. The Fund has approved 34
funding proposals in LCDs worth 2.8
billion dollars of GCF resources, leveraging co-financing of
over 1.6 billion dollars. 17 projects are
dedicated for adaptation, 6 for mitigation, and 11 cross-cutting
addressing synergies between
adaptation and mitigation. Supporting adaptation in the most
vulnerable regions is a major strategic
priority for GCF. To this date, 70% of all GCF adaptation
funding goes LDCs, SIDs & Africa. In addition,
GCF provided Readiness support to 36 LDCs, boosting their
capacity to engage with GCF, develop
projects and tackle the challenge of climate change.
