Readiness Programme resources may support countries to develop climate-resilient recovery strategies and incorporate them into NDCs and stimulus packages and to design paradigmshifting projects contributing to both recovery and climate ambitions. Countries may access resources through the three options below, provided they submit their expression of interest to the Secretariat by 28 February 2021. Countries may choose one option or a combination of options to achieve the three expected outputs proposed in the following table. The budget allocation to the option(s) chosen by countries will be counted under the annual readiness cap ($1 million per country per year) for 2020 or 2021 depending on the date that the request is approved by the GCF.
