Overview
The Strategic Programmes were established to improve country-level impact by engaging with a variety of stakeholders and sectors that have not traditionally been involved in UNCCD implementation, but which have significant potential for increasing financial flows and investments.
The GM’s strategic programmes are:
Economic & Financing Instruments Programme
Market Access & Trade Programme
Climate Change Finance Programme
Private Sector Finance Programme
Civil Society Investments Programme
Policy and Investment Analysis Programme
Gender Programme
Forest Finance Programme
These programmes were carefully selected on the basis of their potential to create favourable conditions for investing and mobilizing resources from public and private sources, both internationally and domestically. Additional strategic programmes may be designed to increase the comprehensive nature of the GM’s approach to UNCCD implementation at country level.
By networking and partnering, the strategic programmes aim to develop and continually update the knowledge they have generated in conjunction with key institutions and authorities in the various strategic areas. This knowledge is used to:
- broaden the approaches to Convention implementation
- accurately and promptly inform national and regional processes of strategic financing instruments and investment opportunities; and
- develop capacity-building initiatives to mobilize resources and increase investments.
