Title : Consultancy for the Accreditation of the Foundation for the Philippine Environment and other potential organizations as a Direct Access Entity to the Green Climate Fund
Procurement No. : 100012227
Process : RFP
Description : GGGI Philippines Country Office is inviting eligible firms/entities to submit their proposals for the following scope of work:

PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The Foundation for the Philippine Environment (FPE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to environmental conservation and sustainable development in the Philippines. Recognizing the urgency of addressing climate change, the FPE is seeking accreditation to be a DAE of the Philippines to the GCF. This accreditation will enable the FPE to directly access GCF funding and implement climate action projects that align with national priorities and benefit local communities.
The FPE is currently in Stage 1 of the GCF accreditation process and has already submitted responses to initial questions from the GCF Secretariat. The organization is committed to meeting the GCF's stringent requirements, including demonstrating its fiduciary standards, environmental and social safeguards, and gender policy. The FPE aims to leverage its extensive network of civil society organizations (CSOs) and its expertise in community-based projects to develop and implement high-quality climate projects that address the needs of vulnerable populations and promote environmental sustainability.

OBJECTIVE OF THE ASSIGNMENT:
In line with this, GGGI is also looking to empower other potential DAEs in the Philippines by providing a comprehensive capacity-building program aligned with the GCF accreditation process. Other potential DAEs may include private sectors and non-government organizations with climate resiliency as a core competency.
GGGI is seeking to engage a consulting firm that shall provide essential support to the FPE and other potential DAEs in navigating the complexities of the GCF accreditation process. By strengthening their capacity and ensuring its compliance with GCF standards, this consultancy shall contribute to the Philippines' broader efforts to access climate finance and implement effective climate action on the ground.
