The Green Climate Fund has approved WOCAN as an observer organization, allowing WOCAN to attend meetings of the Board. As an observer WOCAN will sharing research and materials, coordinating priorities and providing technical support and background information to GCF Board members, alternatives and their advisors. In particular, WOCAN will present its W+ Standard as a results-based finance framework to measure, quantify and monitize women’s empowerment benefits related to climate change projects (www.wplus.org). We are keen to serve as a resource to the GCF and can offer coordinated expertise on gender and climate issues.
