ANNEX IV – Co – Financing Letters GREEN CLIMATE FUND FUNDING PROPOSAL I [National Emblem] Presidential Agency for ALL FOR A International APC Cooperation NEW COUNTRY PEACE - EQUITY - EDUCATION Colombia of Colombia Code: A-FO-102- Version 01—Date: June 21, 2016 (Bar code) When responding to this communication, please mention the following details: Filing number 20165000023221 Bogotá, 02-12-2016 MARTÍN SANTIAGO HERRERO Representative UNDP Colombia Address: Avenida 82 #10-62 Bogotá D.C. Subject: Support to the Green Climate Fund project titled: “Integral Management of water resources as a strategy for the adaptation to climate change of the most vulnerable communities in La Mojana” Dear Sir: On behalf of the Presidential Agency for International Cooperation of Colombia (APC-Colombia, acronym in Spanish), it is my pleasure to send this letter to express our support for the comprehensive programmatic proposal that seeks to increase the resilience of vulnerable communities in La Mojana and complement the effort of the national government within the implementation framework of La Mojana Action Plan. APC-Colombia is an organization that leads international cooperation in Colombia. Our objective is to increase the benefits obtained by the Colombian and international society from development- related cooperation according to the country’s priorities. The Agency focuses and invigorates the international cooperation that Colombia receives by prioritizing the territories that need it most, mainly in three thematic areas: peace building, sustainable rural development, and environmental conservation and sustainability. It also shares knowledge and practices that make Colombia more valuable to other countries, through the South-South Cooperation (SSC) and Triangular Cooperation (TrC), which seek to contribute to the sustainable development and positioning of Colombia in the world. In light of the above, the proposed program is very important for the country and the experiences and lessons learned will be replicated by APC-Colombia within the framework of our South-South and Col-Col cooperation programs in different regions within the country that are also vulnerable to climate change impacts, multidimensional poverty and have been affected by the armed conflict. APC- Colombia particularly highlights the axis of academic training proposed by the program, since it constitutes an important part of the Cooperation offer from the country to the world. This could contribute to a counterpart worth ONE HUNDRED MILLION PESOS Common Currency ($100,000,000), as follows: i) Design and implementation of the practical part and training course exchanges, extending its implementation to benefit southern countries, ii) the transfer of the “KNOW HOW” methodology for documenting and systematizing Case Studies and Histories, and iii) the time of people who are able to follow up this process. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to the Green Climate Fund for the opportunity to fund this kind of programs which will complement the country’s efforts to implement adaptation measures in La Mojana region and are aimed at improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable rural communities in the country.

The region of La Mojana is a very important ecosystem area for the country in which the main rivers of Colombia’s Andean Region meet. The wetland complex provides both direct and indirect environmental services (water regulation, food supply, water supply, wildlife habitat, among others) to 4 departments and intermediate cities of the Colombian Caribbean region. CORPOMOJANA has jurisdiction over 6 municipalities that belong to La Mojana area. CORPOMOJANA works hard to avoid the ecosystem degradation and to restore environmental services that have been lost due to the transformation caused by humans, and exacerbated by climate events such as floods and prolonged droughts. The project that is being submitted to the Green Climate Fund is aligned with environmental and sustainable development priorities and compatible with the climate of the region; hence, the project is aligned with the action plan of CORPOMOJANA and its investment lines. The corporation will invest USD$1,660,614 in ecosystem restoration for the next 4 years. This investment, together with the resources of the Green Climate Fund, will have a bigger impact on the transformation towards a resilient environment in La Mojana. The corporation commits to monitor the environments restored within the framework of the Green Climate Fund project once it has been completed, as well as to provide the technical assistance required for such purpose. Moreover, the corporation will contribute in a timely manner with the dissemination of information to the communities that might be affected by events of floods and droughts within the component of early warnings. Finally, we would like to thank the Green Climate Fund for financing the gaps Colombia currently has regarding the implementation of adaptation measures that help to save lives and improve the livelihood of the most vulnerable communities in the country.
