Support to capacity building of morocco financial sector on climate finance and feasibility study of a national climate fund

Morocco was among the first countries to publish its National Determined Contribution (NDC), which represented a progression on the Intended National Determined Contribution in terms of environmental ambition. GIZ had, to date, provided ongoing and significant support in terms of capacity building in Morocco, which inter alia had led to the establishment of the 4C organization. The project could be considered a next step, as it involved the participation of Morocco’s financial sector in focused and demand-driven capacity building, combined with consultation of those same stakeholders on a particular question: Would a National Climate Fund (NCF) help deliver the goals described in Morocco’s NDC, and, if so, what steps must be taken to bring it about?
