Project context, objectives and description
As a new DAE to the GCF, Fiji Development Bank has limited experience and capacity in climate finance. The project addresses the challenges of developing a first project pipeline, developing a concrete project concept which can be submitted and discussed with GCF, while at the same time providing some support on in-house capacity building to improve knowledge of the procedures of GCF and of the climate finance environment.
The project objective is to increase mobilization of climate finance for the accomplishment of Fiji NDCs through support to the Fiji Development Bank. This will be achieved through 3 intermediary objectives i.) Supporting finalization of a concept note on “Promoting Decarbonization of public bus transport in Fiji, pilot programme” by being the focal point for FDB, ii.) Supporting the selection of a suitable GCF financing modality (SAP, EDA, FP, PPF), iii.) Assisting in the process to allow FDB to develop and have approved its Accredited Entity programme.
The project consisted of a secondment of a GGGI Fiji Green Finance Specialist to the Fiji Development Bank for 2 days a week for 6 months. This enabled the GGGI staff to work closely with FDB staff and ensure transfer of information and knowledge on GCF. This project is aligned with IO2. Increased green growth investment flows which enable partner governments to implement green growth policies
