E-Learning Course on Direct Access

Adaptation Fund’s New E-Learning Course on Direct Access Designed to Help Countries and Stakeholders Unlock Climate Finance. The Adaptation Fund has enhanced its suite of knowledge products with the launch of an interactive new learning tool aimed at helping developing country organizations improve access to adaptation finance.

The Fund’s new E-Learning Course on Direct Access provides an overview and guide of the Fund’s accreditation process of becoming an implementing entity with the Fund, and also covers its project design and implementation processes to help implementers develop effective projects on the ground. It has a particular focus on imparting user-friendly knowledge of the Fund’s requirements for accreditation, and understanding and applying environmental, social and gender considerations when formulating and implementing sustainable climate change adaptation projects.

The Fund also recently released other knowledge tools, such as a report on ‘Bridging the Gaps in Accreditation and Reaccreditation’, and a brochure on lessons from a recent Country Exchange on adaptation in Chile that further complement the case studies in the E-Learning Course. “The accreditation report contains many cases examples across the spectrum of different types of national and regional implementing entities and accreditation processes, and is designed to help entities reduce the time it takes to become accredited or reaccredited with the Fund,” said Ms. Silvia Mancini, Accreditation Officer of the Adaptation Fund.
