This Stakeholder and Policy Analysis report is a contribution to the development of Green Climate Fund (GCF) arrangements for Papua New Guinea (PNG). It has been produced as part of the GCF Readiness and Preparatory Support Project and will inform: the design of the GCF country program in PNG; the design of awareness and training programs aimed at promoting knowledge of and uptake of the GCF funding opportunities in PNG, and; the design of the GCF gender guideline that is under development.

It is CCDA that has been tasked to provide leadership, planning and coordination functions for PNGs climate change policy and programming, including the task of increasing access to GCF funding in PNG.
