This Readiness project is part of an ongoing effort to further the complementarity and coherence between the Adaptation Fund (AF) and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) through the Community of Practice for Direct Access Entities (CPDAE). The AF and the GCF have been promoting Direct Access Modality as a best practice approach to enhance country ownership of climate projects and ensure that developing countries remain in the driving seat of climate finance. In that regard, the AF"s National Implementing Entities (NIEs) and the GCF"s Direct Access Entities (DAEs) are important to promote country ownership and understanding national priorities and contributions towards low-emission and climate-resilient development pathways. Moreover, the GCF and AF secretariats have jointly agreed to support NIEs and DAEs to increase their effectiveness in accessing climate finance resources and develop and implement adaptation and mitigation projects and programs by providing an avenue for knowledge exchange, learning and experience sharing, collaboration and peer-to-peer support through the CPDAE. As one of the key activities under the Knowledge Management & Capacity Building pillar of the 2019-2021 Climate Funds Collaboration Roadmap, the CPDAE Readiness was recognized as an important milestone delivering climate action through DAEs. Supporting the CPDAE initiative is also part of broader efforts to enhance the complementarity and coherence between the GCF and the AF. The CPDAE, a network composed of NIEs and DAEs, led and driven by its own members with an elected committee that coordinates its work, has made significant efforts in structuring its governance framework since its creation in 2019. These efforts include the establishment of its first elected committee; the adoption of a Charter of Governance as part of its governance framework, laying down initial ground rules and expectations, defining the purpose of the CPDAE"s existence, providing a first glance of the roles and responsibilities of different actors (CPDAE committee, CPDAE members, Funders (GCF, AF)); and the development of an Action Plan. Nevertheless, the CPDAE is still at an early stage and there are several gaps that hinder its full operationalization and the optimal performance of its members. These include: i. Lack of specific features in the existing governance framework and limited communication and outreach mechanisms; ii. Absence of a strategic framework and implementation roadmaps adapted to each language group from the CPDAE (English, Spanish and French) and a M&E framework; iii. Lack of appropriate and dedicated materials and platform for knowledge management and lessons sharing within the CPDAE and key stakeholders (NDAs, AF, GCF, other); iv. Insufficient in-house capacities of the entities for projects design, development, implementation and evaluation, as well as for re-accreditation/accreditation upgrade process; v. Difficulties for identifying and manage high quality experts to support project design and development. In that sense, the aim of this Readiness is to strengthen the CPDAE at an institutional level, and the capacity of its members to perform better and access climate finance and develop and implement adaptation and mitigation projects and programs efficiently. This will be done by strengthening the CPDAE governance framework and communication and outreach mechanisms; building the capacity of CPDAE members on various technical issues that would allow them to address the above-mentioned gaps and deliver on their mandate; and by improving the understanding of CPDAE members of the re-accreditation/accreditation upgrade processes. This Readiness will also support the preparation of a pipeline of projects for CPDAE members and/or the improvement of existing concept notes (CNs), in coordination with their respective NDAs, and the design of adequate knowledge and lesson-sharing materials for CPDAE members to better perform their duties as DAEs and NIEs.

Following a holistic approach, ProUSAR in Colombia focuses on strengthening and spurring the innovative power of the private sector during their ongoing transition from a linear waste management to a resource- and climate-friendly circular economy, whilst implementing exemplary measures along three preselected value chains. To further strengthen content-related focus of the national recycling strategy and the supportive framework conditions for enterprises to implement recycling-oriented economic processes, the project contributes to the overall improvement and coherence of waste management and resource efficiency in Colombia. The ProUSAR project objective is to strengthen the innovation potential of the private sector for the implementation of a resource- and climate-friendly circular economy. Implementing partners are the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development (Ministerio de Ambiente y Desarrollo Sostenible, MinAmbiente) and the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism (Ministerio de Comercio, Industria y Turismo, MinComercio). The project runs from 10/2021 until 06/2025. The target group (intermediaries) of the project includes specialists and managers (approx. 150) from enterprises relevant for the three pre-selected economic sectors which are Textile, Home Appliances as well as Wrapping and Packaging (focusing on plastic). The intermediaries should be involved in the initiation and implementation of measures with high resource efficiency potential, as well as specialists and managers (approx. 50) from the national business association (Asociación Nacional de Empresarios de Colombia, ANDI) and other chambers of commerce, which are generally organized on a sectoral basis. Intermediaries from the public sector are mainly professionals and managers (about 30-40) from those ministries and agencies involved in the implementation of the circular economy strategy. These include, in particular, the Ministries of Environment and Sustainable Development MinAmbiente and Min-Comercio, as well as other relevant ministries (Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation). The project has three output areas: Output 1: The coordination of goals, instruments, and procedures for implementing a circular economy orientation in selected sectors of the private sector is improved. Output 2: Companies from selected sectors have initiated the implementation of innovative and bankable concepts for a resource- and climate-friendly circular economy. Output 3: Knowledge about sustainable production and consumption patterns in the context of the circular economy has been strengthened.

The project Strengthening the Resilience of Smallholder farmers, Micro and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Local Communities primarily follows BMZ strategy paper 02/2020 Strategy on Transitional Development Assistance. It also follows the Lebanon Reform, Recovery & Reconstruction Framework drawn up in August 2020 by part of the international donor community and the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan revised in 2020 and relates to the national agricultural strategy of the Lebanese Ministry of Agriculture (in effect from 2020 to 2025). A country strategy for Lebanon is currently being revised. It is the objective of the transitional development assistance project to strengthen the socio-economic resilience of vulnerable groups in Bekaa and Mount Lebanon. The transitional development assistance measure planned aims to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable groups and is divided into three fields of action. These fields are: (1) strengthening the agricultural sector, reflected in the first project objective indicator, (2) funding for MSMEs and start-up funding, reflected in project objective indicators 2 and 3, as well as (3) promotion of social cohesion at the local level (fourth project objective indicator). The project therefore contributes to the implementation of the BMZ Strategy on Transitional Development Assistance and particularly assists with field of action 1 'Food and nutrition security' and 4 'Peaceful and inclusive communities' set out in the strategy. By strengthening production capacities in the country and promoting local economic and business cycles, a contribution to the cross-cutting issue of employment security will also be made. Transitional development assistance field of action 'Peaceful and inclusive communities', as an integral aspect of the Strategy on Transitional Development Assistance ('Overcoming crises, strengthening resilience, creating new prospects'), is addressed indirectly since economic relations and the exchange of information for dealing with the crisis across political-sectarian lines of conflict are supported. In specific terms, the project will play a role in promoting social cohesion at the local level by encouraging social participation and transparent decision-making in selected communities and by supporting solidarity initiatives for strengthening communities. Support in the form of a behavioral science-based community survey during implementation, particularly in terms of promoting social cohesion, will increase the effectiveness of the project since the findings of the survey are to be incorporated into the conflict-sensitive monitoring process and will help with the collection of new evidence - for example in order to improve horizontal social cohesion (attitude towards other groups) within the selected communities.
