13 EU Global Public Goods and Challenges ( ) - instrument to tackle major global challenges through the proposed cross-cutting, integrated, multistakeholder and global approaches - strong focus on tackling environmental and climate challenges - Civil Society Organisations have an important role to play in the implementation 13

14 Multiannual Indicative Programme of the GPGC ( ) indicative financial allocation of 5.1 billion 27% ( 1,377M) will go to environment and climate change; 12% to sustainable energy; 25% to Human development including decent work, social justice and culture; 29% to food security and sustainable agriculture and 7% to migration and asylum 14

15 Multiannual Indicative Programme of the GPGC will be implemented on the basis of 5 Annual Action Programmes articulated around the 5 key areas. An appropriate mix of aid modalities is considered for its implementation: 1. Supporting global initiatives through global funds where they add value 2. Creating efficient mechanisms and economies of scale through trust funds 3. Increasing synergy of action and coordination working with EU Member States, UN agencies, IFIs, and other int. organisations. (indirect management) 4. Supporting strategic partnerships with selected number of operators 5. Through the Call for Proposals system. 15

16 EU Global Public Goods and Challenges Since this is a new approach, the flagship programmes will be developed and launched gradually over the period. Indicative list of possible initiatives includes the Global Climate Change Alliance+ (GCCA+). The GCCA+ will concentrate on the integration of climate change and disaster risk management development planning processes at different levels, including budgeting and monitoring systems. Based on regional and national/countrylevel needs, GCCA+ will pay special attention to issues such as sustainable land use, ecosystem based management, adaptation and mitigation synergies, urban development, and climate induced migration. 16

17 EU normal financing modalities In general. Calls for Proposals (CfP) (mostly for civil society organisations CSOs) EU GPGC Tenders (services, TA) (mostly for consulting companies) Direct Agreements (Targeted Actions, with Int'l Organisations) 17
