The GCF’s Enhanced Direct Access (EDA) modality seeks to boost climate finance access for Direct Access Entities (DAE) – sub-national, national, or regional public or private entities.
Through the EDA’s devolved approach, community-based organisations, local governments and micro, small and medium enterprises – including grassroots organisations and local women’s unions – can contribute to financial decision-making and input into the origination, design, review, appraisal and implementation of climate projects and programmes.
