In Tokelau, the Climate Finance Capacity Support Programme (CFCSP) is supporting the Ministry of Climate, Ocean and Resilience (MiCORE) and the Ministry of Finance to strengthen policy, climate finance management and project delivery capacity. The CFCSP will support Tokelau to review its Living with Change (LivC) Strategy, the overarching document guiding climate work, as well as providing guidance on Tokelau accessing climate finance under different forms of self-determination. The CFCSP will also strengthen Tokelau’s public financial management systems and support accredited on-line training to government officials in project management to enable officials to access and manage increasing amounts of climate finance.
