Access to international climate finance requires implementing institutions to meet stringent technical, fiduciary, and governance standards. Accreditation by entities such as the Green Climate Fund or the Adaptation Fund represents not only institutional recognition but also a gateway to channeling large-scale resources.

 

This process requires transforming the institutional architecture: from internal audit and risk management systems to gender policies and environmental and social safeguards. Institutional strengthening prior to accreditation (Readiness) is key to preparing national actors to meet these requirements and play a strategic role in channeling climate funds.

 

At ROA Partners, we support development banks, cooperatives, ministries, and national agencies in their preparation and accreditation processes. We conduct institutional assessments, design action plans, strengthen internal systems (audit, risk, SSE, gender), and provide ongoing technical assistance. Our work enables institutions to comply with GCF requirements, improve their internal governance, and consolidate their position as key players in the green financial ecosystem.
