The purpose of this procedure is to ensure country ownership and consistency with national climate strategies and plans and to provide for effective direct and indirect public and private sector financing by the GCF. In Jordan, these strategies and policies include the Jordan Climate Change Policy, the NDC Action Plan, the National Green Growth Plan, and Green Growth Action Plans.A no-objection is a condition for approval of all funding proposals submitted to the GCF.

 

The Communication of No-Objection by the NDA will imply that:

The government has no objection to the submitted funding proposal

The submitted funding proposal is in conformity with the country’s national priorities, strategies, and plans

The submitted funding proposal is in conformity with the relevant national laws and regulations, and in accordance with the GCF’s environmental and social safeguards.

 

It is therefore a requirement that all consultations with stakeholders occur prior to the submission of concept notes and funding proposals and that this process is well-documented and can be clearly demonstrated.
