CCFAH supports small and other vulnerable Commonwealth countries to build human and institutional capacities to access climate finance. CCFAH already has an on-ground presence in Maldives focused on enhancing the country’s ability to access climate finance by strengthening and, where necessary, supporting the establishment of institutional mechanisms and modalities to seek, receive and utilize international climate finance. This project will also support the country with wider efforts to mainstream climate change across national plans by enhancing the skills and expertise of staff in the host ministry and other relevant ministries and agencies.
