Are you looking to develop your Green Climate Fund (GCF) project development skills? Together with the University of Twente, E Co. is offering an international course on formulating GCF project proposals for low carbon, climate-resilient development (ICREP). In 2016, ICREP was the Dutch nomination for the 2016 UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development.
The course
The aim of the course is to develop participants’ skills in preparing proposals for low carbon and climate resilient projects so that they can mobilise climate finance, particularly from the Green Climate Fund, and catalyse the deployment of climate change solutions in developing countries. The course has an online component and a two-week residential module.

Participants from backgrounds related to energy, environment and climate change, such as: staff from National Designated Authorities (NDAs), staff from Accredited Entities or those seeking accreditation, entrepreneurs, consultants, project developers, government officials, policy advisors, and staff of IFIs and (I)NGOs.
Course objectives
After completion of this introductory course participants will have gained knowledge and experience related to:
– Climate finance landscape and international policies concerning climate change mitigation and adaptation
– GCF funding options and operating modalities to support low carbon climate resilient development
– Identifying project opportunities for low carbon climate resilient development
– Developing implementation strategies
– Writing bankable and fundable proposals
