Draft Guidance for Country Pro-grammesAs part of the Activity Area 2, country programmes are driven by a robust process to engage stakeholders across government, local institutions, the private sector, and civil society to develop a clear sense of priority projects/programmes that the GCF can support.

• Country Programmes will include:

1. National Sustainable Development Context and Climate Change Response

2. Roles and Contributions of Key Stakeholders

3. Identification of GCF Priorities

4. Action Plan

5. Monitoring
