There are three main actors with key roles in interacting with the GCF, namely:
1. National Designated Authority (NDA)
NDA berfungsi sebagai penghubung utama antara negara bersangkutan dengan Green Climate Fund (GCF). Badan Kebijakan Fiskal merupakan NDA GCF di Indonesia. Lebih lanjut About NDA.
2. Accredited Entities (AEs)
AEs, or Accredited Entities, are institutions or organizations accredited by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to carry out a range of activities, including developing and submitting funding proposal, as well as overseeing the management and implementations of projects and programs. AEs can be private or public and can be either international entities or domestic entities.
3. Executing Entities (EEs)
A project proponent that is not an AE can act as an Executing Entity (EE). While an AE acts as a fund program manager, an EE oversees the execution of eligible activities supported by GCF under the oversight of the AE. An AE can also act as an EE.
GCF memobilisasi pendanaan iklim dengan bekerja melalui berbagai organisasi. Organisasi yang memiliki kapasitas khusus dalam mendorong aksi iklim dapat menjadi Entitas Terakreditasi (AE) GCF. Organisasi ini dapat berupa badan-badan swasta, publik, non-pemerintah, subnasional, nasional, regional atau internasional. Pelajari lebih lanjut tentang daftar AE yang disetujui saat ini dari GCF di sini.
AEs should have clear, detailed, and actionable climate change projects or programs to show GCF’s developing mitigation and adaptation programs. They must also meet GCF’s standards based on financial standards, environmental and social safeguards, and gender.
AEs convert concepts into actions. AEs develop funding proposals to be considered by the GCF and oversee, supervise, manage and monitor their respective GCF-approved projects and programs. Guided by the GCF’s investment framework and the priorities of Indonesian government, they work alongside the government to come up with project ideas, and submit funding proposals to the GCF Board for their approval.
AEs are categorized by potential risk category level and project size (in USD).
There are two types of GCF AEs, based on access modalities: International Access Entities and Direct Access Entities.
1. International Access Entities (IAEs)
AEs can include bilateral development agencies (e.g. Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, GIZ), multilateral development banks (e.g. the World Bank), United Nations agencies (e.g. United Nations Development Programme), regional development banks (e.g. the Asian Development Bank), intergovernmental organizations, or private sector financial institutions.
2. Direct Access Entities (DAEs)
DAEs are subnational, national, or regional accredited entities that are required to provide evidence of a nomination from an NDA with their accreditation application documents. They may include national ministries or government agencies, national development banks, national climate funds, commercial banks, other financial institutions, etc.
Organizations nominated to become DAEs may be eligible to receive GCF readiness support. This funding is designed to help organizations prepare to become AEs, as well as helping those which have already been accredited to strengthen their organizational capacities. Below is the list of accredited DAE and nominated DAEs:
For organizations that are not AEs, there are also other ways to engage with GCF. These may include, but are not limited to:
