Background

Through the process of preparing the Technical Assessment and Strategy in the context of the Needs-Based Finance Project, Arab States expressed the need to undertake training in accessing climate finance to support their priority climate actions. In this context, the UNFCCC secretariat and its Regional Collaboration Center for the Middle East, North Africa and South Asia based in Dubai are organizing this training workshop with the objective of:

• Validating the Climate Finance Access and Mobilization Strategy for the Arab States;
• Developing skills and knowledge in the development and preparation of priority adaptation and mitigation projects to address the needs of Arab States;
• Building the capacity of the participants to translate project concepts into fundable project proposals.

This workshop should be viewed as an initial step in understanding access requirements of different sources of climate finance by going through each phase of the project development process in an interactive approach. At the end of the workshop, with the assistance of international organizations, participants will produce draft concept notes that Arab States can collectively translate into project proposals to mobilize finance from both public and private sources at the international, regional and national level.
