Liberia’s NAP project is the first African project to be financed by the GCF.

Liberia’s NAP project is the first African project to be financed by the Green Climate Fund (GCF). It aims to advance the NAP process for medium-term investment planning in climate-sensitive sectors, including agriculture, energy, waste management, forestry and health, and in coastal areas in Liberia. Implemented by the UN Development Programme (UNDP) and national partners, it benefits from US$2.3 million in GCF funding. The project will work to strengthen institutional frameworks and coordination for implementation of the NAP process. It will seek to expand the knowledge base for scaling up adaptation, build capacity for mainstreaming adaptation into planning and budgeting processes and systems, and formulate public, private, national and international financing mechanisms to enhance adaptation efforts in the country.
