The GCF is a new partner for financing North Macedonia’s investments in low-emission and climateresilient development. Within the country’s first project from the GCF readiness and preparatory support programme, implemented in 2019, FAO supported the Government to set up the national mechanism, institutional framework and procedures needed to effectively access and deploy resources from the Fund.

This newsletter is jointly developed by the Cabinet of the Deputy President of the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia in charge of Economic Affairs, in its role as National Designated Authority (NDA) to GCF and FAO in the frames of the project “Support for the management of an effective national coordinative mechanism regarding the Green Climate Fund”.

It aims to keep key national stakeholders (national institutions, government agencies, private sector, civil society, academia, international organizations) in the Republic of North Macedonia up-to-date with the milestones in the implementation of the project and the latest GCF activities at country-level in alignment with national priorities and other on-going climate change initiatives. It includes updates on GCF-related priorities, procedures, resources, consultations, news and events in the Republic of North Macedonia.
