Additionally, it involves a report on the institutional analysis and recommendations to be presented. WP2 aims to improve the sustainable project selection and maturity in cooperation with the to be established Climate Finance Unit. It involves assessing existing structures for mapping sustainable projects, developing sustainability criteria, and providing strategic advice. It includes comparing current criteria with international standards, creating a concept note and matrix, discussing with stakeholders, offering capacity development, testing the criteria matrix on two projects and identify funding sources, and evaluating the relevance of the SOURCE platform. WP3 aims to provide member organizations of the Sustainable Finance Steering Committee (CoPil-FD) with tailored capacity and organisational development.

Ad-hoc capacity building will be provided for government officials, focusing on deepening understanding of committee workplan topics. The package also involves checking membership status in relevant international networks and suggesting measures to support participation, as well as enhancing visibility by proposing a concept note for a high-level forum on sustainable finance. WP4 aims to support the implementation of five strategic activities from the CoPil-FD action plan.
