Enhancing Direct Access to the Green Climate Fund

A new policy brief on “Enhancing Direct Access to the Green Climate Fund” by the Frankfurt School, Germanwatch and ENDA Tiers Monde for CDKN discusses access modalities for the Green Climate Fund. In particular, the paper explains the terminology around 'direct access' and 'enhanced direct access', outlining the capacities needed at each institutional level  to achieve direct access; reviews recent experience of using the ‘direct access’ approach in international climate funds; makes recommendations to the Green Climate Fund Board on building blocks for the Fund’s design.
