Course Overview
The Climate Finance & Proposal Development Programme equips participants with the strategic, technical, and practical skills required to access, structure, and manage climate finance for mitigation, adaptation, and resilience projects. The programme addresses one of the biggest challenges faced by governments, development institutions, NGOs, and the private sector: translating strong climate ideas and policies into bankable, fundable project proposals. The course integrates global climate finance architecture with hands-on proposal development aligned to major funding sources such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), Global Environment Facility (GEF), Adaptation Fund, development banks, bilateral donors, and private investors. Participants will gain practical experience in climate project design, theory of change, logical frameworks, budgeting, safeguards, and results-based reporting. By the end of the programme, participants will be able to develop high-quality concept notes and full funding proposals that meet donor requirements and national climate priorities.
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Explain the global climate finance landscape and key funding mechanisms.
- Distinguish between adaptation, mitigation, and cross-cutting climate projects.
- Identify climate finance opportunities aligned with national and institutional priorities.
- Design bankable climate projects using theory of change and results-based frameworks.
- Develop high-quality climate finance concept notes and full proposals.
- Prepare climate budgets, financial models, and co-financing strategies.
- Address environmental, social, and gender safeguards in proposals.
- Meet donor requirements for monitoring, evaluation, and reporting.
