Chad is extremely affected by the impacts of climate change, in particular rising temperatures and prolonged drought, and is ranked as 180 over 181 as most vulnerable to climate change impacts and less ready to address them1. In order to address this threat, Chad has identified, through its Country Programme, the land-use and forest sector (LULUCF) as one of the priority areas for future investments aimed at mitigation and adaptation to climate change. This Readiness proposal builds on the broader national planning targeting the land use sector and forestry, and in particular on the Great Green Wall Strategy that was developed for Chad. In fact, Chad has developed with FAO’s support its national GGW strategy and action plan in 2012 2 and has identified broad priorities for interventions. To this day, the only activities undertaken by the GGW initiative mainly focused on awareness raising of communities and preliminary data gathering to identify intervention priorities and GGW geographic areas in the country. It is also important to mention that this strategy was developed before Chad had been able to formulate its NDCs and received little resources to achieve implementation of the strategy and action plan.

Chad is, in fact, facing a number of barriers that limit its capacity to implement and mobilize resources to support identified interventions to address climate change impacts in the land use and forestry sector including:

• Lack of national data on climate change impacts, benchmark data and emission reduction opportunities in the LULUCF sector, complementing the initial data generated by the GGW initiative; • Low capacity and limited inter-sectoral dialogue between the different institutions and entities at the institutional and regional level that are and may be involved in the identified priority adaptation and mitigation measures on climate change and forest sector issues and land management, in particular with regard to the GGW; Brief summary of • Lack of knowledge and dissemination of climate change mitigation and the request adaptation good practices in the sector; • Low commitment and interest of the private sector in adaptation and mitigation interventions in the forest and land use sector.

This readiness proposal for Chad, as it is being the case for the 3 other readiness projects developed under the Great Green Wall (approved and under implementation in Burkina Faso, Senegal and submitted for Niger) will address the above mentioned barriers, first step to prepare and enable these GGW countries to feed, inform and contribute to the formulation and implementation process of the Multi-country project under development (Scaling-Up Resilience in Africa’s Great Green Wall) and in alignment with the priorities identified in the Country Programme. This will allow the creation of an enabling environment for Chad to successfully invest in future climate change related diversified ininitiatives (what and where and by whom) to be prioritized and to define the national activities as part of the update of GGW strategy and the the regional multicountry project under formulation.

Indeed this proposed Readiness project will support the GGW agency and the ministry to : 1) Identify and support training and knowledge sharing among stakeholders on climate change impacts and potential interventions in the land use and forestry sector; 2) Generate the required evidence-based data for baseline scenario of targeted climate change adaptation and/or mitigation interventions; 3) Identify adaptation and mitigation technologies in the LULUCF sector and assess their feasibility to adjust the priority interventions that the country has identified in its GGW strategy and to demonstrate their relevance in the regional Scaling-up resilience GGW project; 4) Assess opportunities for collaboration and engagement with the private sector to strengthen their role and support climate finance in Chad including the upcoming regional project (Sacling-up Resilience in the Great Green Wall).

While this Readiness proposal will achieve the four pillars of intervention as described above, and is specific and tailored to tackle Chad’s specifities, it will also build on the Readiness and Preparatory Support Page 5 of 26

2. BACKGROUND

As highlighted in Chad’s Country Programme (2019), temperatures have continuously increased in Chad since the beginning of the 1980s, and different climate scenarios show an increase in the average annual temperature of 0.8 ° C in South, 1.2 ° C in the Center and 1.3 ° C in the North by 2020 compared to 1981-2010. With regards to precipitation, different models show a variation of average annual rainfall of -15 to + 9 mm per month (-28 to + 29%) by 2090 (UNDP, 2006). Moreover, Chad’s (I)NDC3 highlights that the country is affected by more intense and prolonged droughts, which are accelerating the extension of Saharan and Sahelian deserted zones, that have spread 150 km South over the last ten years. This phenomenon is also greatly contributing to the shrinking of the country’s largest lake, Lake Chad, which has reduced in size from 25,000 km² in 1960 to less than 2,500 km² today.

Increased desertification in Chad, a country categorized as extremely vulnerable to climate change4, is causing reduced farming and pasture areas, decrease of soil fertility leading to high crops losses, food insecurity, malnutrition, livestock producers and farmers migration, resulting in an increase of existing inequality and discrimination amongst certain populations. According to the Country Programme, recent declines in agricultural production (2000-2001, 2004-2005, 2009-2010) are due to the increasingly intense droughts. In fact, rise in temperatures associated with increased variability of rainfall causes malfunctions of agricultural seasons, disturbances in crop life cycles and deterioration of agricultural production. It is estimated that the agricultural sector in the region will suffer the greatest losses compared to the rest of the world, losing between 2% and 4% of its GDP (Mendelssohn et al., 2000, Boko et al., 2007).

With regards to climate change mitigation, the sector contributing the most to emissions generation is the forestry and land use representing 57.94% of total emissions in Chad5. It is followed by the agriculture sector (because of slash-and-burn agriculture, bush fires and overgrazing) with 41.05%. Without sustainable mitigation measures, GHG emissions would double within 15 years (INDC 2015), with the sectors projected to be the drivers of this phenomenon being agriculture / livestock, land-use and forestry and energy. Even if GHG emissions in Chad are relatively low compared to those generated in developed countries, there is significant emission reduction potential from agriculture, land use and forestry and energy sectors.

The INDC estimated that the cost to address adaptation and mitigation challenges in Chad is USD 14.170 billion in total over the 2030 commitment period of which 11,380 for achieving the conditional goal (with support from the international community) and for mitigation a cost of 7,063 Billion USD in total over the commitment period of which 6,540 to achieve the conditional goal. In this context, to provide a long term and efficient response to the above mentioned climate change challenges, Chad has identified in its Country Programme published in May 2019 the forest and land use sector (LULUCF) as critical and key to prioritize for climate change adaptation and mitigation action. The main national framework for intervention in the LULUCF in Chad is the Great Green Wall Initiative, a pan-African initiative aiming at

restoring and sustainably managing land in the Sahel-Saharan region through nature-based interventions that contribute to adaptation and mitigation to climate change. Chad developed its Great Green Wall Strategy and action plan in 2012 (see for reference the strategy document only available in French: http://www.fao.org/3/a- av131f.pdf), with the support of FAO, which identified priority actions to be undertaken in the forestry and land- use sector a such: • Improvement and Sustainable management of production systems including restoration and reforestation • Socio-economic basic infrastructure for local communities • Sustainable livelihoods • Knowledge management Capacity development including on climate finance and climate change adaptation and mitigation techniques The first priority includes the implementation of the following technologies: reforestation and restoration with drought resilient trees and other adapted local plant species (shrubs and fodder species), natural regeneration that allows farmers to protect and manage the natural regeneration of forests, croplands and grasslands, large- scale land preparation using water harvesting techniques and soil management, restoration and enrichment planting especially in areas where degradation is severe; mobilization of high-quality and drought resilient seeds and planting materials to respond to the massive required restoration needs; and community involvement in the selection of native species to be used, planting and land management operations and livelihoods. However, only a limited number of activities have been carried out through the Great Green Wall Initiative in Chad. These include: i) raising awareness of communities for the identification of the strategic areas of intervention and the ii) identification of the broad GGW areas of intervention in the country. In this context, as part of the GGW strategy, Chad has undertaken a preliminary environmental and socio-economic baseline analysis for the Great Green Wall in 2012-2013. The findings of the baseline studies enabled, as a result, the identification of the GGW priority intervention areas which are roughly corresponding to the transition zone between the steppe formations and the Sudano-Sahelian savannah zones and which extends over a long strip of about 1010 kilometers by 15 kilometers wide. While these have been identified, the analysis lacked at that time evidence based information, including information on climate change scenarios and impacts on the area. The Great Green Wall Strategy also is outdated and has been developed before the country was able to prepare its Nationally Determined Contributions.

Figure 1: Great Green Wall areas of intervention in Chad

Chad is, as a matter of fact, facing a number of barriers that limit its capacity to implement and mobilize resources and partners from different sectors to support the scaling up of nature based interventions that contribute to addressing climate change impacts in the forestry and land use sector, in particular under the framework of the GGW. These barriers, reiterated in Chad’s Country Programme6 include:

6 See country programme section 1.4 page 30 Readiness and Preparatory Support Page 7 of 26

• Lack of evidence-based data on climate change impacts on the forestry and land use sector in the area (physical and socio-economic impacts) and on adaptation and emission reduction potential and scaling up opportunities in the forestry and land use sector; • The main national and regional framework for intervention in the LULUCF sector, the Great Green Wall Strategy, is outdated as was developed before the country submitted its NDCs. • Low capacity and limited dialogue between the different institutions and entities across sectors, at the institutional and regional level that are, and could, be involved in the identification, planning and implementation of the priority climate change adaptation and mitigation measures in forest and land use and management sector, in particular in the context of the GGW; • Lack of knowledge and dissemination on climate change mitigation and adaptation good practices and tools in the forestry and land-use sector; • Low commitment and interest of the private sector in adaptation and mitigation interventions in the forest and land-use sector.

This Readiness proposal aims at supporting the scale up of successful adaptation and mitigation interventions in the forestry and land use sector, contributing and feeding the ongoing efforts in developing a multicountry/regional project on (Scaling up Resilience in the Great Green Wall involving 6 countries including Chad) by overcoming the identified barriers through the following pillars:

• Training and knowledge sharing between relevant institutions and stakeholders7 across sectors at central and regional level on: - impacts of climate change in the forest and land use sector, the impact of the sectors on carbon emissions; - opportunities that the sector offers in terms of technologies for adaptation and mitigation, in particular targeting and adjusting the priority interventions that the country has identified in its GGW strategy and that could be scaled up as part of the regional GGW; - creation of a platform at national level to encourage the sharing of knowledge of different actors (including the private sector). The platform will respond to the orientations of the already existing steering committee; • Generation of detailed evidence-based physical and socio-economic data to determine the baseline scenario for priority interventions, quantify adaptation and mitigation targets, support the monitoring and updating the Great Green Wall Strategy; • Identify and assess the pre-feasibility of technologies in the LULUCF sector for adaptation and mitigation; • Engage the private sector in resource mobilization, scaling up and co-financing of mitigation and adaptation interventions in the land use and forest sector, notably through: (i) identification of entry points and opportunities for financial support for private sector intervention in priority interventions identified in the GGW strategy; and (ii) identification of priority value chains for possible interventions, aligned with the priorities of the Great Green Wall strategy in Chad. This Readiness proposal is aligned with the Country Programme, which identified sustainable land and forest management for reducing emissions from degradation and deforestation, and climate resilient agrosylvopastoral practices as priority interventions for future GCF investments. In this context, the assessments produced by this Readiness proposal will also help strengthen the baseline of the relevant priority interventions identified in the CP and support the development of the regional multicountry project (Scaling-up Resilience in the Great Green Wall) under preparation and other project concept notes and partnerships for GCF and private sector co- financing.

6.1.1. Institutional framework and coordination

This Readiness project will be led by the Government of Chad, through the NDA in Ministry of Environment, Water and Fisheries in close collaboration with the National Agency of the Great Green Wall (GGW). The project will be implemented by FAO, as Delivery Partner.

The Readiness proposal will build on the coordination mechanism already in place in Chad. In fact, in the light of preparing the country to access climate finance and to lead climate-related activities, including in the context of the GGW initiative, the NDA of Chad set up two different committees and one secretariat (Décret datant de 2018 intitulé Portant Création, Attributions, Composition et Fonctionnement de l’Autorité Nationale Désignée du Fonds Vert pour le Climat au Tchad (AND-FVC)), which are placed under the supervision of the Ministry in charge of the Environment and are part of the NDA:

• Comité de Pilotage (Steering Committee): steering authority and decision-maker for GCF activities in the countries, according to the national strategies and norms • Comité Technique d’Examen et d’Evaluation des projets (CTEEP) (technical committee for review and evaluation of projects) evaluation unit to select projects to be submitted upon approval of the first comité. • Secretariat of the NDA that ensures organizational and operational activities, as well as decision notification.

These bodies are placed under the supervision of the Ministry in charge of the Environment, Water and Fisheries and constitute the High Oversight Committee. With regards to coordination, this proposal aims at strengthening the capacity of these two committees and facilitate exchange and partnership with other relevant stakeholders involved in the LULUCF sectors, with particular emphasis on the Great Green Wall agency of Chad and Conseil National du Patronat Tchadien representing the private sector in Chad.

6.1.2. Strategy, management and operational support

The project will be led by the Government of Chad, with the technical and operational support of the FAO, acting as Delivery Partner, through the FAO’s representation in Chad (based in N'Djamena), the FAO Regional Office for Africa (in Accra, Ghana) and the FAO Headquarters in Rome.

FAO will implement the activities, under the leadership of the NDA, based on its standards and procedures, and may establish agreements with institutions, including the NDA, and NGOs, with consolidated experience on the ground for the implementation of some services under determined activities (e.g. communication).

Day-to-day project management

The day-to-day activities of the project will be implemented under the direct supervision of the FAO Representative for Chad who will be the project budget holder (BH), and the technical supervision of the Lead Technical Officer (LTO) based at the regional office for Africa. While the LTO ensures compliance with the FAO technical standards, the budget holder (BH) will be responsible for the project funds and budget. Technical support and guidance on implementation and reporting will be provided by relevant staff in the FAO regional office in Ghana and in the FAO GCF Unit in FAO Headquarters in Rome. In the FAO regional office, the Senior forestry officer/ focal point for climate change, GCF and GGW, will act as LTO for the project. These actors will be part of the FAO project task force. The task force is a management and consulting body composed of FAO staff members with the authority and technical knowledge required to support the project and ensure efficient technical, operational and administrative management of the project; and it will be supporting the Project Coordination Team as needed all along the project implementation.

The dedicated Project Coordination Team will be set up composed by national consultants covering the different thematic areas, coordinated by one full time national project coordinator (national consultant) to be recruited by FAO. The National team of consultants, the NDA and the national Agency of the GGW in Chad will be supported by international consultants for the formulation of GCF concept notes, support the development of value chain analyses and other studies.

The existing Steering Committee will provide guidance and advice to the Project Coordination Team and will be consulted as needed. All the relevant stakeholders involved in this project, including the different relevant ministries and NDA, the GGW initiative’s representatives and FAO’s members will be participate to the meetings organized by the Steering Committee to ensure the delivery of technical inputs and assistance to the different project activities, including validation of documents and work plan for the project implementation.

FAO’s roles

In this context, FAO will provide technical assistance to the project partners and team and will have proactive exchanges with the NDA and the GGW National agency, as well as with other relevant stakeholders. FAO will also ensure possible synergies with other on-going projects related to forestry and land-use and GCF in other countries in particular in the context of the GGW and beyond for similar climate change challenges and context, in collaboration with the national agency of the GGW in Chad and the NDA all along the project implementation.

GGW National Agency’s roles

The national agency of GGW initiative has been a key counterpart and initiator of the project formulation in collaboration with the NDA and has been consulted regularly by the NDA and FAO. The GGW National Agency has also been consulted to ensure this project is well coordinated with the GGW initiative and that activities are not duplicating existing efforts.

During the project implementation, the national agency will be a key stakeholder all along the activities of the project and will be a direct beneficiary of capacity-strengthening and partnership activities.

The national agency of GGW will contribute to the coordination and will be closely involved in the project implementation. A Letter of Agreement (LoA) between FAO and the Agency will be prepared and signed at the start of the project to ensure the GGW initiative’s involvement in the delivery of some services under some activities. The Agency will also be part of the project steering committee with NDA and FAO.

The Agency will nominate a focal point to coordinate and secure the contributions of the agency team and partners in project implementation including: Readiness and Preparatory Support Page 23 of 26

• Provision of available required information • Support the planning and organization/ facilitation under technical guidance of FAO, of all planned workshops, securing an inclusive gender sensitive participatory process at regional and national levels • Hosting the monitoring and evaluation system to be developed under the project and will be responsible for data collection under technical supervision and assistance of FAO experts and consultants.

The national agency will be a key stakeholder all along the activities of the project and will be a direct beneficiary of capacity-strengthening and partnership activities.

6.1.3. Stakeholders and beneficiaries

The project will be implemented under the leadership of the NDA, within the Ministry of Environment, Water and Fisheries. The implementation will attempt to engage all relevant stakeholders, using a transparent, participative and inclusive consultative process, so that they benefit from the project.

The key stakeholders and direct beneficiaries have been preliminarily identified as follow:

• NDA’s team, including steering committee, technical committee, secretariat, whose capacities and means will be strengthened to facilitate access to GCF and reinforce country’s efforts on climate change mitigation and adaptation. • The National Agency of the GGW team in Chad including staff in the GGW intervention regions • National Ministry and institutions at national and regional level dealing with forestry and land use sector • Existing multi-sector and national committees: local and regional committees, territorial communities • Conseil National du Patronnat Tchadien: represents the private sector in Chad, in particular enterprises and cooperatives of farmers and breeders • Civil society, NGOs, research structures working in the forestry and land-use sector, universities

6.1.4. Starting date of implementation

The start date for implementation will be as outlined in the framework/grant agreement in effect at time of approval unless otherwise agreed to between the Delivery Partner and the GCF.

6.1.5. Potential conflicts of interest

To avoid any possible conflicts of interest deriving from the Delivery Partner’s role as an Accredited Entity, the prioritization of technologies, investments and projects in the context of this readiness grant, will be made through a broad consultation process with relevant stakeholders, including other potential implementing entities active in Chad. The final validation of these priorities will be carried out through the countries’ own relevant coordination mechanism and institutional arrangements, with the participation of other government agencies, as well as representatives from civil society and private sector as the NDA deems relevant, to ensure chosen priorities are fully aligned with national plans, strategies and Chad’s Country Work Programme and adequately includes inputs from consulted stakeholders.

6.2 Risks, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and other relevant information

A number of potential risks that could jeopardize the attainment of the project’s desired outcomes have been identified and possible mitigation measures proposed as in the table below.

Risk Impact Probability Mitigating Action Farmers / herders conflicts Medium low Reinforcing protocols on Charts and management arrangements through the pastoral units allow to cope with this risk Limited capacity and reluctance/slowness by local and Medium low By mobilizing and articulating the capacity of national institutions to actively different actors, projects and programs to participate work intensively with Government and private sector (for example the planned development of the national platform under this project with a communication strategy will help mitigate the risk) Security and stability in the field Medium low Priorities will be focused on those GGW regions that can most benefit and where stakeholders can participate fully in the consultation Money laundering, terrorist Medium low No risk of money laundering or terrorism are financing or prohibited practices envisaged. The government will ensure security (Gendarmerie, police, intelligence service, anti-terrorism brigade), good financial governance (financial investigation brigade) and the proper application of laws and legal instruments against money laundering.

6.2.2 Monitoring & information

At the start of project implementation phase, an inception workshop will be organized to further detail the project implementation strategy and institutional arrangements.

During project implementation, the LTO will over-see the production and quality of the six-monthly progress reports. The project implementation team will be responsible for drafting these reports. The Progress Reports will be submitted to the Project Task Force for comments and finalization.

The National Project Coordinator and the Project Consultants will prepare reports for every assignment undertaken. These reports will be reviewed and cleared by the LTO. FAO staff backstopping the project will prepare Back-To-Office Technical Reports (BTORs) after each mission.

Towards the end of the project, the National Project Coordinator will prepare and submit to the LTO a draft Terminal Report for technical clearance.

6.2.3. Other relevant information

6.2.3.1. Alignment and strategic opportunities

Chad developed a number of strategies and plans in the context of climate change and related impacts:

• (Intended) Nationally Determined Contributions (2015) Readiness and Preparatory Support Page 25 of 26

• Stratégie nationale et plan d’action pour la mise en œuvre de l’initiative grande muraille verte au Tchad (2012).

• Plan d’Intervention pour le Secteur Rural (PIDR)

• Plan National d’Intervention dans le Secteur Rural (PNSIR)

• Plan d’Action National d’Adaptions au Changement Climatique (PANA)

• Plan d’Action National de Lutte contre la Désertification (PAN/LCD)

• Plan National d’Action pour l’Environnement (PNAE)

• Stratégie Nationale et le Plan d’Action en matière de Biodiversité (SNPA/BD),

• Stratégie Nationale de Lutte contre les Changements Climatiques (SNLCC)

The project is aligned with the main climate change policies in plans developed by Chad, as follows:

• The National Adaptation Action Program (NAPA) of Chad capitalizes all the efforts undertaken by the highest authorities of this country, and is "a guidance and guidance tool for national and sectorial policies "aimed at preventing the adverse effects of climate change to contribute to sustainable development’’. These efforts have focused mainly on the implementation of development projects taking agricultural diversification, actions to combat desertification and degradation of arable land and the improvement of living conditions and incomes of peasants. • The National Strategy for Poverty Reduction (SNRP) capitalizes all these efforts and has retained the main strategic thrusts of: (i) improving the social, legal, political and economic; (ii) to ensure strong and sustained growth; (iii) improve the capital human; (iv) improve the living conditions of vulnerable groups; and (v) restore and to safeguard the ecological equilibrium of ecosystems.

Various other plans and programs such as the National Plan to Combat desertification (PAN / LCD), the National Biodiversity Strategy, the implementation of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), the Plan Intervention Program on Rural Development (PIDR), the National Program for Security Food (PNSA) are also aligned with the interventions of this proposal.

In addition, the Government of the Republic of Chad has acceded and ratified a number of International Conventions and Agreements relating to climate change such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (1993) and The United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification in Countries severely affected by drought and / or desertification, particularly in Africa (1996).

FAO is implementing a project called “Action against desertification in support of the Great Green Wall in strong partnership with GGW agencies and coordination units in 6 countries, with EU financial support to address the adverse social, economic and environmental impacts of land degradation and desertification. The objective is to improve the living conditions of populations, the resilience and productivity of agro-sylvo-pastoral systems, through the promotion of sustainable community management of land and restoration based on the sustainable use of plant and animal biological diversity, key for building resilience of communities and landscapes. Outcomes and lessons learnt from this ongoing project that is implemented in similar context in those GGW countries (including Niger, Nigeria and Senegal, Burkina Faso) will benefit the GCF readiness project implementation in Chad.

Chad has also requested and obtained support from FAO a program of Technical Assistance for the implementation of the GMV (TCP / RAF / 3302 (D)), which includes a one of the milestones the development of the Great Green Wall National Strategy and an Action Plan. The technical services concerned, together all the actors involved, have refined the socio-economic and environmental diagnoses, and undertook baseline studies for establishment of the reference situation which will make it possible to assess, objectively, the impact actions that will be carried out. This Readiness project will further strengthen these assessments.

6.2.3.2 Sustainability of the outcomes

Synergies with approved Readiness projects and other GCF initiatives in the country

The Government of Chad is currently finalizing the Country Programme, which has reconfirmed the interest of Chad in investing in the land-use and forestry sector for adaptation and mitigation interventions. In particular, the CP identified sustainable land and forest management for reducing emissions from degradation and deforestation, and climate resilient agrosylvopastoral practices as priority interventions for future GCF investments. In this context, the assessments produced by this Readiness proposal will also help strengthen the baseline of the relevant priority interventions identified in the CP. Readiness and Preparatory Support Page 26 of 26

Gender equality

The project will support an active participation of women and men in stakolder consulatatioins and workshops, and will ensure gender is always considered in the main activities implemented and related reports developed.

Indigenous peoples

The Mbororo Peul are indigenous to Chad and live essentially from pastoralism and subsistence agriculture. According to the 1993 census, they number around 250,000 individuals, living primarily in the dry centre and tropical south of Chad, where pastures can be found.

They are a poor population, 99% of them are illiterate, and they have no national political representation. This proposal does not target directy indegenous people and will have no negative impact on them.

It is difficult to estimate the exact number of Mbororo Peul but they represent approximately 10% of the Chadian population. In fact, many of them have now departed for neighbouring countries (Cameroon, Central African Republic, Niger). They can be identified by their way of life, their culture, their language and by the discrimination they suffer.

Capacity Building

The Readiness proposal will support training and knowledge sharing of relevant institutions and stakeholders on :

• impacts of climate change in the forest and land use sector, the impact of the sector on carbon emissions • opportunities that the sector offers in terms of technologies for adaptation and mitigation, in particular targeting the priority interventions that the country has identified in its GGW strategy • creation of a platform at national level to encourage the sharing of knowledge of different actors (including the private sector). The platform will respond to the orientations of the already existing steering committee

Readiness Grant Budget Preparation Guidelines

The following considerations are important when completing the budget: 1. Before preparing the Readiness and PPF budget, please read the full guidance on our website (https://www.greenclimate.fund/how-we-work/empowering-countries). 2. You can select the appropriate budget categories from the dropdown list in the budget plan: 3. To insert additional rows, right click on the row number below where you wish to insert the new row and choose INSERT. 4. Additional budget categories may be added by manually typing them on the Budget Category sheet. :

Project Management Cost: Project management costs (PMC) are the direct administrative costs incurred to execute a project. They should cover only incremental costs incurred due to the GCF contribution. In most cases, these costs are directly related to the support of a dedicated project management unit (PMU) which manages the day to day execution related activities of the project.

General Principles for PMC costs: 1. The percentage of PMC financed by GCF should not be more than the percentage share of the overall budget financed by GCF 2. PMC budget thresholds: Up to 7.5 per cent of total activity budget. > PMC exceeding 7.5 per cent for the readiness (including NAPs) proposals, and PPF proposals, up to $ 3 million will require detailed documentation and justification supporting the entire PMC budget. > The PMC should be shown as a separate component in the project budget. A detailed breakdown of PMC should be provided by budget category. > Indicative list of eligible project management costs: > Project staffing and consultants: Project manager, Project Assistant, Procurement personnel, Finance personnel & Support/admin. Personnel > Other direct costs: Office equipment, Mission related travel cost of the PMU, Project management systems and information technology, Office supplies, Audit cost

Contingency : 1. Select the appropriate % of Contingency Budget from the dropdown list :

2. Contingency budget for unforeseen costs arising during the project implementation should not be included in the outcome budget separately. 3. Contingency budget must be used for any unforeseen programme (output level) cost that is unrelated to implementation/service fee. 4. Any use of contingency must be reported to and agreed by the GCF Secretariat in writing in advance provided with justifications that are acceptable to the GCF 5. If you get to the end of the project and you haven’t spent Contingency, you can’t increase the scope of the project or buy some more equipment to use it up.

6. The Budget Notes sheet should be used to record explanations, further details or cost breakdowns for individual lines
