Resource Description

This resource analyzes how countries have sought support for climate finance in agriculture through the NDC Partnership. It reviews requests related to mitigation, adaptation, and cross-sectoral action and identifies trends and gaps in support.

Why This Matters

Agriculture is central to many countries' climate strategies but remains underfunded. This resource highlights practical entry points to strengthen financing and implementation.

Key Insights

Countries prioritize support for preparing bankable projects and mobilizing finance, especially for adaptation
Most requests come from Sub-Saharan Africa and involve Ministries of Agriculture as leads
Common barriers include limited capacity, underfunding of adaptation, and challenges in accessing finance across language and institutional contexts
Less support has been provided for requests focused on policy and capacity-building
Greater collaboration and public-private partnerships are recommended, alongside targeting finance for the water-energy-food nexus
