The Regional Forum will bring together Nationally Designated Entities (NDEs), Nationally Designated Authority (NDA) to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), CTCN network members, representative of financial institutions and other government officials. Specifically, the forum aims to:

Improve the institutional capacity of local and national governments to formulate policies that promote the development and implementation of residential energy efficiency projects, especially for multifamily buildings where there is a high concentration of vulnerable (low income) households.

The Green Climate Fund and the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN) are stepping up collaboration to accelerate the development and transfer of technologies for energy-efficient, low-carbon and climate-resilient development.

This partnership is well illustrated through the GCF Readiness Programme that has approved funding to support the governments of Ghana, Myanmar and Tonga in advancing green technology initiatives to be delivered by the Climate Technology Centre.

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) organized a regional Structured Dialogue for countries from Eastern Europe, Caucasus and
