Nataij is thrilled to announce that the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) was approved for accreditation with the #GCFund.

AEPC is the first entity in Nepal to become accredited, and Nataij is proud to have assisted the team at every step of the application process. Congratulations, AEPC - We look forward to supporting you in the next phase of this journey. https://pos.li/2bap08

In our sixth and final day of the training workshop Nataij is leading in #Nepal, our team met with the Town Development Fund to discuss its comparative advantage in leveraging financing from the GCFund.

Nataij is grateful to all of our partners for a successful week of collaboration, and we are excited to continue providing our support as they transform their project ideas into action.

What is "additionality," and how does it fit in the development of GCFund project proposals? These are the questions Nataij explored with members of the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre team in Day 5 of our capacity building workshop.

In Day 4 of our capacity building workshop, Nataij supported the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) with the formulation of a project concept for the GCFund Simplified Approval Process. Four days down, two to go!

In Day 3 of our capacity building workshop, Nataij conducted tailored training for Nepal Investment Bank Ltd. (NIBL), one of the leading commercial banks in the country. The workshop centered on how NIBL can successfully engage with the GCFund to mobilize financing for its priority projects.

Today marks Day 2 of the capacity building workshop that Nataij is leading on GCFund project development in #Nepal. Our team will be delivering presentations and facilitating activities to frame thinking around theory of change, gender mainstreaming, and environmental and social risk screening in the formulation of projects. Check back for the latest on our trip!

Nataij is back in Nepal where our team is leading a workshop on GCFund project development.
