Readiness Review

When you need this

You have a project or a draft and need to know whether it can be written yet.

What problem it solves

Proposals fail on evidence and structure long before anyone reads the prose. This establishes what is missing while it can still be fixed.

What is carried out

• Fund and instrument fit against the published criteria
• Climate rationale and the quality of the evidence behind it
• Problem definition and whether it separates climate from development
• Theory of change and results logic
• Institutional ownership and implementing arrangements
• Financing assumptions and co-financing exposure
• The issues most likely to stop the submission

What you receive

• A criterion-by-criterion review
• Gaps ranked by how likely each is to block review
• Specific evidence requests, not general advice
• Major blockers stated plainly
• Recommended corrective actions
• A proposed route to submission

• Timeframe3–5 days
• Inputs neededExisting project documentation, available climate and baseline data, and the name of the target mechanism if one has been chosen.
• LimitsThis is an independent screening against published requirements. It is not an assessment by any fund, and it does not predict a funding decision.

Climate Readiness Advisory is an independent practice and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of the Green Climate Fund, the Adaptation Fund or any other financing institution.
