The BCCI and the Ministry, in its capacity as the National Designated Authority (NDA) to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), are delighted to extend an invitation to your organization to participate in a half-day Inception Workshop and the formal project launch of the project entitled Readiness Support for Strengthening Belize’s Private Sector Access to Climate Finance. This event will take place on Tuesday, August 24th, 2021. It will be held in a hybrid format: That is, simultaneously via Zoom and at McField Conference Room at 4792 Coney Drive, Belize City, for those who can attend in person.
Through the GCF Readiness Programme, the Government of Belize prioritises the building of national capacity to access GCF resources through a better understanding of the GCF processes and the design of bankable funding proposals. The current programme is a continuation of the initial engagement with the private sector, which started under the first readiness project to sensitise stakeholders and identify a GCF project pipeline. However, recognising that significant resources are needed for climate investments, the Government has decided to strengthen engagement with the private sector through this new GCF Readiness Programme. Currently, the private sector has limited knowledge about the GCF, and its engagement in climate actions within Belize is minimal. Given the climate change challenges facing Belize, this readiness intervention is designed to build awareness and strengthen the private sector’s capacity to engage with the GCF.
As a result, we are looking forward to you joining us on Tuesday, August 24th, 2021, from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm, as we commemorate the start of this needed private sector intervention through which stakeholders will be informed on how to get involved and learn about the project and the funding opportunities to come.
Kindly confirm attendance by registering for the event here.
