MANILA — Since the United Nation’s Green Climate Fund became operational three years ago, the world’s largest international climate fund has struggled with accusations that its accreditation process is too cumbersome, bureaucratic, and difficult to maneuver — especially for the under-resourced developing countries that it is mandated to prioritize.
Kilaparti Ramakrishna, director ad interim of external affairs at GCF, told Devex that “the accreditation process is there for a reason, but we recognize the time it takes to complete that, and then channeling projects after becomes a very long, drawn-out process.”
“We want to see action on the ground,” he stated.
