action_plan:

The ILO has submitted an accreditation request to the Green Climate Fund. This request is in the GCF pipeline. In the meantime, the ILO has been working with CGF accredited entities to develop proposals. One such proposal is in process with Kenya National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA). A project concept note has been produced and is planned to go through the required stakeholder consultations before submission to the GCF. In parallel the ILO is revamping the ILO of entering into an MoU with the GCF secretariat. The ILO the ILO entered into a memorandum of understanding with the secretariat of the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD). In partnership with UNCCD, the ILO is currently working on proposal under the Global Environment Facility (GEF).

Depending on the outcomes of the above-mentioned recommendation, ILO could look to engage with global vertical funds/funding mechanisms that will open up new lines of support for activities under just transition and the green economy. Currently out of the 5 UN PAGE agencies, three are accredited to both the GEF and GCF. UNIDO has successfully brought an intervention that was originally designed with low-level PAGE funding to the GEF, and received additional scale-up funding of $2.5 million. If accreditation is seen as too costly or not within the ambitions of senior management, then ILO could look to establish an MoU or similar arrangement with GCF. Other agencies, such as UN Women, have taken this approach. Another approach that could be undertaken is collaborating with other UN/National entities that are already accredited to GCF in order to develop projects in collaboration with said accredited partner.
