- Design, write, and present the workplan for finalizing a high-quality FP, for submission to GCF. The workplan is a living document and requires to be updated on a regular basis and has to be informed by GCF Board meetings and respective submission deadlines.
- Design and write FP, including all annexes that connects to the GCF Investment Criteria, is based on a strong Climate Change Rationale (CCR), Theory of Change (ToC), and exit strategy. The FP is aligned with FAO’s accreditation to the GCF, including the Environmental and Social Safeguards (ESS) requirements.

- Provide technical inputs to the consultation meetings with the NDA and other national stakeholders, as per the agreed upon workplan and in close consultation with the FAO country office.
- The FP, prior to GCF submission by the Accredited Entity, requires confirmed co-financing and implementation arrangements. Fokabs will closely cooperate on these subjects with the AE, which leads the negotiations with potential co-financers and project partners.
- Present the final project FP, with emphasis on the GCF investment criteria, Logframe, CCR, ToC, exit strategy, co-finance, and implementation arrangements. Collect and address final inputs and submit the FP package for final review prior to submission to GCF.
- Lead on addressing GCF feedback on the FP and annexes, until project approval by GCF Board.
