2. Work Package 4- Overview
• Weak project preparation and prioritisation of
projects is one of the major challenges limiting
access to climate finance to support water
management.
• Climate funds and their access modalities are often
not very well known and capacity to prepare good
projects that can attract funding is limited.
2
• Financing needs to be approached systematically,
starting with ways of minimising the financing
requirements through efficiency and other measures

3. Work Package 4-Overview (2)
• In this work package, GWP will work closely with
development banks, financing agencies of
governments, RECs , RBOs and countries in project
preparation.
• GWP will work to address the constraints of project
preparation and governments to source funding to
prepare bankable projects can attract funding is
limited.

4. Overall work package objective
 Governments enhance efficiency in Project
preparation to leverage funding from
traditional sources of water financing and
adaptation funds

5. Specific Objectives
 Appraise and classify new and existing investment
projects by Countries, RECs, RBOs and prioritise
no/low regrets projects
 Bridge the gap between countries with PPFs and
development Banks, IFIs, Adaptation funds and others
 Disseminate knowledge on good project preparation
 Support RECs and RBOs in preparing at least 1
project for funding

funding sources and project preparation facilities

12. Work Package 4: Indicator
Number of countries supported in the development of capacity
and projects to access climate and climate-related finance to
improve water security
Results which demonstrate that relevant regional, national and/or subnational
authorities within a country have received direct support (in terms of both
awareness and capability) to access climate related finances
