This workshop represents a continuation of activities in the implementation of the GCF Readiness project in line with objectives outlined above. The first training workshops for public and private sector participants on climate finance programming — including the development of GCF concept notes — will be held back-to-back with the inaugural workshop on the development of the Climate-Resilient Water Investment Programme and aims to:
- Present a training programme for gender-sensitive and inclusive climate resilient water sector, developed in response to a capacity building and training needs assessment conducted during the inception period of the project implementation.
- Conduct the first training on Green Climate Fund financing mechanisms and procedures to access climate finance in the water sector.
- Present initial findings of the study Development of Climate and Water Investment plan for Montenegro commissioned by the project to provide high quality input data for future Water investment plan and seek stakeholder’s feedback and validation.

TASK 2: Preparation of a Baseline Assessment of Water Sector Investment Needs.
