This handbook is conceived as a toolbox for key government and other stakeholders in partner countries in their efforts to access climate finance. The ClimaSouth project uses an approach to access finance through learning-bydoing and capacity building. Facilitating the development of proposals and interfacing with sources of finance for climate-relevant/-specific projects and programs is the vehicle through which capacity for climate finance is further enhanced.
The tools presented in the handbook focus on the preparation and assessment of project applications. Collectively, its elements are designed to (1) support climate finance capacity building/training in workshop type settings, and (2) guide and facilitate the elaboration of climate finance applications, with or without external experts.
