Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL), Bangladesh’s first Direct Access Entity (DAE) to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), is organising a week-long series of capacity building workshops and awareness sessions from 17–21 May 2026 aimed at strengthening the country’s climate finance ecosystem.
The initiative is designed to deepen understanding of global climate finance mechanisms, concessional funding opportunities and access pathways under the GCF programme among key stakeholders in Bangladesh, according to a press release.
The workshop series will bring together representatives from government institutions, financial organisations, private sector entities and development partners through interactive sessions, technical discussions and structured knowledge-sharing engagements.
As the country’s accredited DAE to the GCF, IDCOL plays a central role in facilitating country-led climate action by enabling access to international climate finance for climate-resilient and low-emission development projects.
Officials said the programme is expected to improve institutional readiness, strengthen project development capacity and encourage greater coordination among stakeholders engaged in sustainable growth and climate adaptation efforts.
Through the initiative, IDCOL said it is reaffirming its commitment to expanding long-term climate finance solutions and supporting Bangladesh’s transition towards a more resilient and sustainable development pathway.
