When it comes to project funding, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of the financial landscape and the dynamics involved in securing funding for various initiatives.
Project funding plays a pivotal role in bringing ideas to life, driving innovation, and fueling growth in different sectors. It often involves strategic planning, financial analysis, and effective communication to attract investors or funding sources. The process of project funding can vary depending on the nature of the project, the industry involved, and the funding sources available. It's essential to navigate this landscape thoughtfully to ensure the successful realization of your projects.

- The Proposal
Identify an adaptation or resilience challenge that could be addressed with support by the Adaptation Fund through a project or programme. The project or programme would need to be in accordance with priorities laid out in OGE strategies and plans or in Nationally Determined Contributions. Develop the proposal using the template “Request for Project/Programme Funding from Adaptation Fund”. The Adaptation Fund Board requests that all proposals should be written in English.
When preparing your proposal, please review the criteria outlined in the Project Funding Terms and Conditions. Be sure to engage relevant stakeholders in the planning process and address environmental, social, and gender considerations.
Proposals may be submitted in one of two ways:
-
1-step process: submission of a fully developed project or programme document.
-
2-step process: initial submission of a concept note, followed by a fully developed proposal.
Please note that specific requirements apply to regional projects and programmes under the pilot programme for such activities.
