Mediterranean Investment Sustainable Energy Facility The Project will draw on the lessons learnt from the Mediterranean Investment Facility (MIF) Phase I and II and replicate the intervention outside the Mediterranean region. 
As observed during MIF, many developing countries face energy poverty, with significant effects on national development. MIF Phase II in particular, highlighted the important role of fiscal inventives to generate generating private sector confidence, as well as engagement with technology providers and distributors to enable market transformation. MISEF tackles energy poverty by increasing energy affordability for households through tailored financial support mechanisms for the uptake of renewable energy, energy efficiency and digital technologies. The project will work with other agencies, notably the IEA, to provide the policy, regulatory, technology and investment context needed to accelerate progress on power system modernisation.

The project will follow an integrated approach that looks to innovative financing, development of pilot projects, capacity building and awareness raising.
UNEP is ideally positioned to manage the project, combining its ability to access and receive national and international support, and proven track record of mobilizing private sector stakeholders to advance innovative financial support mechanisms for the uptake of clean energy technologies. The project builds on previous projects implemented by the Energy and Climate Branch for the mobilization of private sector finance for renewable energy and energy deployment, including the best practices and lessons learned from the first two phases of the Mediterranean Investment Facility. The Italian Ministry of Ecological Transition continues to support the planned project, to be financed through the Mediterranean Investment Facility trust fund.

The project will contribute to the delivery of the United Nations Environment Programme 2018-2021 Medium-Term Strategy, and in particular the Climate Change strategic area and 2020-2021 Programme of Work sub-programme: “Countries increasingly make the transition to low-emission economic development and enhance their adaptation and resilience to climate change”. More specifically to SP1 Climate Change, expected Accomplishment (ii): (b) Countries increasingly adopt and/or implement low greenhouse gas emission development strategies and invest in clean technologies. Output 4: Technical support provided to countries to implement and scale up renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. The Project will also contribute to the 2022/2023 Programme of Work, under the Climate stability heading, to support a) Decision makers at all levels adopt decarbonization, dematerialization and resilience pathways, b) Countries and stakeholders increase capacity, finance and access to technologies to deliver on the adaptation and mitigation goals of the Paris Agreement.
In terms of the SDGs, given the Project’s focus on clean energy, and finance, the project is most relevant to SDG 7, SDG 9, and SDG 11

Readiness Fund of the Forest Carbon Partnership Facility The FCPF concept and development objectives were discussed and approved by the World Bank Board of Directors on September 25, 2007.
 
 The Readiness Fund will provide grants to support a specific technical assistance (TA) program (the Readiness Mechanism) for about 20 interested developing countries (together referred to as REDD Participant Countries), with the goal of arriving at estimates of their respective national forest carbon stocks and sources of forest emissions, as well as likely national reference scenarios for future emissions, and monitoring systems for measuring progress against the reference scenarios. Since the Readiness Mechanism will help reate new policies and methodologies for REDD that can be used broadly, it will have a substantial research, development and global knowledge sharing function.
 At the country level, it will assist countries in developing monitoring plans for REDD and build capacity for monitoring and verification as needed. TA would be available to help countries to calculate the opportunity costs of possible REDD interventions and design a strategy for reducing emissions, taking into account their respective priorities and constraints. In support of these activities, the Readiness Mechanism can also provide countries with resources for communications and stakeholder consultations, to ensure that the reference scenario, monitoring plans and REDD strategies are realistic and country-owned

Indonesia-FCPF REDD Readiness 1.	The Project Development Objective (PDO) remains unchanged from the original grant. It is Ã¢Â€Âœto contribute to the development of t he RecipientÃ¢Â€Â™s capacity to design a sound national REDD+ strategy, develop national and sub-national reference scenarios, and esta blish a forest monitoring and carbon accounting system, all consistent with local, regional, and national conditions and circumstanc esÃ¢Â€Â. 2.

Conditions and circumstances impacting the National Reference Scenario (baseline) are quantified and discussed  with relevant stakeholders.c.	Studies on drivers of deforestation, revenue sharing options, and investment options that further st rengthen the national REDD+ Strategy are prepared and endorsed by the Government, after discussion and validation by stakeholders.  4.	The achievement of the proposed AF Grant objectives would be measured through the following additional results indicators:d.	In donesia will be REDD+ Ready (based on the assessment criteria of the Readiness Package).e.
