Mozambique Applies for Adaptation Fund NIE Accreditation Support from Kenya via South-South Grant on 31 July 2019
On 31 July 2019, the Ministry of Land, Environment and Rural Development (MITADER) of Mozambique submitted an application for an Adaptation Fund South-South cooperation grant. The purpose of the grant is to receive peer support from the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) of Kenya to assist MITADER in achieving accreditation as a National Implementing Entity (NIE) to the Adaptation Fund. The support is expected to start on 01 January 2020 and be completed by 30 September 2020. The human-written summary notes that peer support was received on 2 December 2019, potentially indicating an earlier engagement or meeting. The scope of the support, based on NEMA's prior experience assisting Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Tanzania with their accreditation processes, likely includes engaging high-level government officials, providing technical assistance on governance tools to meet AF standards, sharing knowledge on AF program design and implementation, hosting learning missions, mentoring, and conducting workshops to review existing systems, procedures, and documents, identify gaps, and develop action plans. The affected sectors are primarily environmental governance and climate finance institutions in Mozambique and Kenya. No specific national regulations or statutes are named, but the process is governed by the policies and guidelines of the Adaptation Fund.
