Case study

Agence Français de Développment’s (AFD) Multi-Country Climate Adaptation Facility to support NDC implementation in vulnerable countries.

In May 2017, AFD launched the new “Adapt’Action” Facility to support the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The aim is to help countries vulnerable to climate change achieve low-carbon and climate-resilient development trajectories and support an increase in “climate investments”, with a focus on adaptation.
Key points
  • At the institution level: Multi-country dedicated climate instruments can help mainstream climate strategies and incentivize operational staff to better integrate climate considerations and risks in project design and build
    new project portfolio with improved climate co-benefits;
  • At the country level: a dedicated climate-focused technical assistance instrument can help countries take next steps at a macro level / governance level towards the operationalization of their NDC;
  • At both levels, the Adapt’Action Facility, through the approach and the activities that will be deployed, has the ambition to help both the AFD and 15 vulnerable countries to commit to climate strategies and promote climate smart objectives.
