The Technical Assistance

The Intra-ACP GCCA+ programme includes a component on Technical Assistance to ACP countries and regions. It comprises three parts:

Direct Technical Assistance

The programme funds technical assistance for government and non-government organisations in ACP Member States through collaboration with the Climate Support Facility (CSF).

 

CLIMATE SUPPORT FACILITY

Coordination and Networking

The programme supports regional synergies and lesson-learning through meetings and active online communications.

Knowledge Sharing

The programme shares knowledge by participating in international climate change dialogues and by creating and sharing thematic documents on climate change.

The Technical Assistance team

The Technical Assistance Team comprises three full-time experts, who support the ACP Secretariat with coordination, implementation, monitoring, knowledge management, communication, and strategic dialogue. It is also responsible for managing the Climate Support Facility (CSF), which provides demand-driven, short-term technical assistance and training on climate change to ACP regional organizations and countries.
