IDCOL has launched a week-long programme to strengthen Bangladesh’s climate finance capacity through workshops focused on global funding mechanisms, Green Climate Fund access and stakeholder coordination for climate-resilient development.
Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL) has launched a week-long programme of workshops and awareness sessions to help strengthen Bangladesh’s climate finance ecosystem and improve access to international funding opportunities.
The initiative, running from May 17 to 21, 2026, aims to deepen understanding of global climate finance mechanisms, concessional funding opportunities and access pathways under the Green Climate Fund (GCF), according to a press release.
IDCOL, Bangladesh’s first Direct Access Entity (DAE) to the GCF, said the programme brings together representatives from government agencies, financial institutions, private sector organisations and development partners through interactive sessions, technical discussions and knowledge-sharing activities.
As an accredited entity to the GCF, IDCOL plays a central role in helping Bangladesh secure international climate finance for climate-resilient and low-emission development projects.
Officials said the initiative is expected to strengthen institutional readiness, improve project development capacity and enhance coordination among stakeholders working on sustainable development and climate adaptation efforts.
Through the programme, IDCOL said it is reaffirming its commitment to expanding climate finance solutions and supporting Bangladesh’s transition towards a more resilient and sustainable development pathway.
