The project aims to support four countries–Ghana, Kenya, Solomon Islands, and South Africa–to each prepare and submit Biennial Transparency Reports (BTRs) and combined Biennial Transparency Report / National Communications (BTR/NCs) that will comply with the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement (PA) reporting requirements, while responding to national development goals.

Enhance the National Framework for Climate Transparency of Ghana to meet the requirements of the ETF under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

This project aims to boost climate resilience for smallholder farmers in northern Ghana by enhancing food security, strengthening the rural economy, and promoting sustainable livelihoods through climate-resilient agriculture, water management, landscape restoration, and resilient infrastructure.

Smallholder farmers in northern Ghana, where 80 per cent of the workforce relies on rain-fed subsistence agriculture, are increasingly exposed to risks arising from climate variability. Prolonged dry seasons, extreme rainfall, rising temperatures, and unpredictable weather patterns contribute to food insecurity, water scarcity, crop losses, and infrastructure damage. These climatic impacts jeopardise rural livelihoods, ecosystems, and community resilience in one of Ghana's most vulnerable regions.

Key activities of this project include strengthening climate information services, promoting and implementing climate-resilient agricultural practices, restoring degraded landscapes to reduce vulnerability to droughts and floods, facilitating smallholder farmers' access to finance, and enhancing local knowledge and awareness of climate risks and adaptive practices to support long-term adoption.

Poor land management, particularly deforestation for agriculture, contributes significantly to carbon emissions, worsening global warming and diminishing land productivity. While sustainable land management (SLM) practices offer climate adaptation and mitigation benefits, they face adoption barriers such as limited financing, high investment risks, low technical capacity, and poor supply chain traceability. Addressing and overcoming these barriers is key to reversing land degradation and promoting sustainable development.

The Mirova Sustainable Land Fund 2 (MSLF2) aims to tackle the interconnected challenges of land degradation and climate change by investing in SLM projects in selected countries (Costa Rica, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Malaysia, Morocco, Peru, and the Philippines). It supports reversing land degradation by investing in practices in agroforestry, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable forestry. These approaches will enhance soil health, increase biodiversity, and improve carbon sequestration, making agriculture and forestry more resilient to climate variability and extreme weather events.

Employing a blended finance structure, MSLF2 combines public and private capital to mitigate risks and attract private investment in SLM projects.  The fund will offer flexible financing options to small- and medium-sized enterprises and provide technical assistance to help investee companies enhance their investment readiness and operational capacity.

This project was brought under the Project-Specific Assessment Approach (PSAA), an initiative to streamline and broaden access to GCF finance for new partners, countries, and technologies.
