Title of the Readiness support proposal

Actions towards accessing different GCF funding modalities in Peru

Type of Readiness support sought

Please select the relevant GCF Readiness activity area below (click on the box): ☐ I. Country capacity for engagement with GCF ☐ II. Country programming process ☒ III. Direct access to climate finance ☐ IV. Climate finance accessed ☐ V. Formulation of national adaptation planning and/or other adaptation planning

processes





Brief summary of the request

Peru is working to access the different financing modalities available by GCF. In this sense, the NDA (i) has identified a potential Direct Access Entity (DAE) within the country that will be complementary to Profonanpe; and (ii) wishes to boost Profonanpe’s capacity for funds management, given the new strategies that the institution is envisioning.

On one hand, a first Readiness support provided by the GCF through Price Waterhouse and Cooper (PwC), assessed the capacity of COFIDE to become a GCF’s accredited entity. The result of this assessment was promising, but a series of recommendations were given from which COFIDE has started to address. In order to expedite this process, the NDA considers that Profonanpe could support COFIDE to address some gaps that are still to be covered, given the experience it has already gained with the GCF.

On the other hand, Profonanpe is rethinking and planning new ways of approaching climate change mitigation and adaptation and biodiversity conservation through its work and the services it provides. This includes, among other, new fiduciary functions to be explored. Therefore, the NDA supports this initiative that could lead to an additional upgrade for Profonanpe, allowing the country to access additional GCF funding resources.

Total requested amount and currency

• USD 766,874 (Outcome budget + contingency + PMC)

• USD 65,1841 (DP) USD 832,058 (Total)

Anticipated duration 12 months

Has the country received or is expecting to receive other Readiness and Preparatory Support funding allocations (including adaptation planning) from GCF or other donors?

☒ Yes ☐ No

Peru has previously received four Readiness supports from the GCF: 1. To assess COFIDE’s conformity and gaps regarding GCF’s fiduciary standards and ESS, with the support of PwC as Delivery Partner. 2. To strengthen the NDA, prepare a country programme and develop strategic frameworks according to the GCF’s guidelines, with GIZ as Delivery Partner. 3 and 4. To strengthen Profonanpe’s capacities to better manage future GCF projects both as an implementing and executing entity; in both cases with Profonanpe as Delivery Partner. Resources of the last request were recently disbursed and therefore activities have just started.

1 These include the services provided by the administrative area of Profonanpe, in charge of procurement, accountability, and treasuring, among other. The fee also includes the time spend by Profonanpe’s Directors who will assess the advances made. Finally, the fee will contribute to cover maintenance expenses, including communication services which will be required for the implementation of this proposal.


2. BACKGROUND

Profonanpe continues to be the only GCF ‘s DAE in Peru and is currently implementing two Readiness projects to strengthen its role as implementing and executing entity. Moreover, characterized by its constant improvement and cooperation with other institutions, Profonanpe is envisioning new ways of approaching climate change mitigation and adaptation, and biodiversity conservation. These include exploring on-lending and blending fiduciary functions, and in order to achieve them new institutional gaps will need to be addressed. These will require for example, develop operational guidelines/manuals for new fiduciary functions and carryout legal arrangements.

In parallel, Peru’s NDA has also identified an additional DAE that will be complementary to Profonanpe: COFIDE, a state owned second-tier development bank established in 1992, which is involved in project finance, financial intermediation and blended investments execution. COFIDE intends to use GCF financing for public and private sector projects across a variety of areas: energy generation, access and efficiency; transport, cities, industries and appliances; land use, forestry (REDD+) and built environment.

Through a previous Readiness support, COFIDE received a gap assessment and an action plan conducted by PwC. In order to be addressed, the NDA brought together COFIDE and Profonanpe, given Profonanpe’s increased knowledge and capacities regarding the GCF operating procedures and its ability to meet its requirements. Thus, COFIDE and Profonanpe started working together by (i) arranging their interinstitutional agreements, (ii) reviewing and organizing the information to be uploaded for the application, (iii) preparing draft terms of references for the required consultancies, and (iv) preparing the current proposal to address the identified gaps which are mainly focused, but not limited, on gender, ESS and grant award.

Therefore, the NDA and Peru as a whole are the main beneficiaries of this proposal as it will generate a new DAE and boost its current one, ultimately allowing the country to access additional GCF funding resources by having two DAE working in perfect match to achieve the NDCs.

Applications for COFIDE’s accreditations and Profonanpe’s upgrade delay their approval by the Board because of extensive revision processes.

Low High Profonanpe

Profonanpe will coordinate with COFIDE to create a timeline according with the GCF processes to match the schedule of the Board meetings.

There are no risks, threats or challenges in the project that could make it vulnerable to money laundering, terrorist financing, corruption or prohibited practices, given that Profonanpe will be in charge of hiring the consultancies and services, applying the policies and guidelines for which it was accredited.

Monitoring and Evaluation:

In order to monitor the performance of programmed activities, deliverables and reports, as well as the occurrence of risks and the appliance of the corresponding mitigation actions, Profonanpe will apply the following:

- Assign a technical staff member responsible for the implementation of the proposal. - Assign the Director of Development and Supervision Direction (DSD) to monthly assess the advances

made according to the programed activities and commitments with GCF under the Readiness Grant Agreement.

- Adjust this proposal to the institutional documents used for annual programing and upload it to its technical and financial system to facilitate follow up and later reporting to the GCF.

- Inform the NDA the progress of programmed activities during periodic meetings. - Share interim, completion and financial report with the NDA before its submission to the GCF in order

to include any observations raised.

In addition, Profonanpe will implement the following monitoring and evaluation plan:

Aspect Monitoring/evaluation action Responsible Periodicity

Exit strategy:

Given that the activities considered in this proposal will be done to improve capacities within COFIDE and Profonanpe, results will be inserted within their daily procedures and will therefore be sustained after project closure. In that sense, the planned workshops will allow that information and results obtained from the consultancies are shared along staff members, generating the required institutional culture around each topic. Moreover, capacity building is also practiced within Profonanpe through periodic internal meetings and therefore knowledge gained among staff members is always shared between peers. This will be applied for activities considered in this proposal. Finally, activities regarding Profonanpe will allow the institution broaden its scope and therefore generate the required income to be sustainable and to maintain the practices and tools provided by this Readiness support.

Actions towards accessing different GCF funding modalities in Peru

• Limited access to different funding modalities of the GCF through NIE.

Application of an additional NIE submitted. Current NIE’s capacity to apply new fiduciary functions assessed and started

fires and other climate-related disasters

The NDA has selected Profonanpe as the Delivery Partner for this proposal as the country is prioritizing working with its national entities in the extent of their abilities in order to continue strengthening internal capacities; and Profonanpe is a private institution created by law specifically to support public interests. In addition, Profonanpe is the only GCF accredited entity which has already presented 2 of the 4 Readiness approved in the country, apart from being the only one currently executing a GCF project in Peru. Profonanpe has been involved with GCF since its establishment, is in continuous coordination with the NDA and has a track record helping other national institutions in identifying and addressing their gaps to access accreditations.

B. Title to goods and other property financed by GCF, will be in accordance with the provisions in the standard template grant agreement to be entered into between the grant recipient and the GCF or an agent of the GCF such as UNOPS. Most of the deliverables will be reflected in Profonanpe’s and COFIDE’s webpages, and those that are not will be uploaded and shared in a google drive folder associated to the reports and means of verifications of this grant support.

Budget Note Detailed Description

Budget category3.2.1.1 The budget is considered for an international consultant that will address ESS gaps indentified for COFIDE's accreditation.

Budget category3.2.1.2

The budget is considered for an international consultant that will address gender mainstreaming gaps indentified for COFIDE's accreditation.


The budget is considered for an national consultant that will address grant award fiduciary functions gaps indentified for COFIDE's accreditation.

Budget category3.2.1.4 The budget is considered for the adjustements of COFIDE's webpage according t to GCF requirements.

Budget category3.2.1.5 The budget is considered for translation services of the information to be presented to the GCF as part of the accreditation process.

Budget category3.2.1.6 The budget is considered for at least 6 trainning workshops to strengthen COFIDE's staff capacity regarding ESS, gender and grant award.

Budget category3.2.1.7 The budget is considered to cover the costs related to COFIDE-MEF-Profonanpe periodic meetings.


The budget is considered to cover a highly specialized local consultant who will identify Profonanpe's gaps to fulfill new fiduciary functions. The work to be done under this consultancy will not be as a usual gap assessment, in which procedures and documentation are reviewed to verify if they comply or not with the required standard. Given that the proposed fiduciary function is new for Profonanpe and no material has been ever prepared regarding on lending and blending, Profonanpe has already an idea of the gaps it has and requires a specialist to organize what the institution will require for the transformation. This means that the consultant will at least do the following tasks:- Review GCF’s requirements to accredit an institution at the on lending and blending category.- Search among green banks that share similarities with Profonanpe, their operation procedures, structure, decision levels, and resources, to provide examples and alternatives to Profonanpe of how it can operate.- Search and provide the steps to carry out the legal transformation.- Review Profonanpe’s documentation (ie. Code of Ethics, Transparency policy, Committees conformation, control procedures, organizational chart, etc.) to identify and propose modifications if required to be compatible with the new fiduciary function.- Prepare all terms of references that will be required to carry out the transformation (ie. To prepare the policies and operational guidelines, for the legal firm, and for others to be identify).- Identify proposals (topics, scopes and potential institutions that could be approach by Profonanpe for financial resources) that could be later be use to create a track record.- Work with staff members along the consultancy, to start building a mindset regarding the new fiduciary function and guide the increase capacities to be develop in order to properly achieve this new challenge.


The budget is considered to cover a local consultant that will prepare the operation guidelines to achieve the new fiduciary functions. One of the clearest gap to be address by Profonanpe, and which should start first, is to have its policies and procedures in place regarding (i) due diligence, (ii) financial management, (iii) investment management and (iv) financial risk management, for on lending and blending. This senior consultancy will develop such documents along with all the associated forms, and will present them to Profonanpe’s Board of Directors and to staff members to operationalize them. It will start almost in parallel with the previous consultancy, as they will have to coordinate to reflect the proposed modifications in both of their products.


The budget is considered to collect initial information from staff members and stakeholders, and to present preliminary and final results of the gap assessment and new guidelines resulting from addressing such gaps. During the consultancies, several additional meetings are expected and the resources could also help covering expenses risen from these meetings. These workshops are key in order to permeate the new information generated by the consultancy within all staff members. They assure that project results are sustained and long lasting, contributing in such manner to the exit strategy.


The budget is considered for tuition fees of 2 staff members in green banking and finances course to be apply in the development of new businesses.
