The 2023 Annual NIE seminar was held in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic that brought together AF’s national implementing entities (NIEs) from around the globe to share lessons and experiences in project development and accessing climate finance through the Fund’s accreditation and grant funding processes. The entities are part of the Fund’s pioneering Direct Access program that empowers institutions located in countries to directly develop projects and build their national adaptation capacities along the way.
The seminar included three days of reviewing the Fund’s latest project proposal and accreditation processes and new grant funding windows, as well an exchange of best practices and lessons learned from NIEs, which included representatives from nearly 30 countries.
