The overall project outcome will be a Government of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana strengthened institutional mechanism for the planning, coordination and collaboration for climate change adaptation and mitigation through policy formulation.  This includes the institutional strengthening of Office of Climate Change (OCC) through building the organisation’s capacity to respond to the new global architecture and financial arrangements needed to access climate finance for use in climate change mitigation and adaptation projects.  The project will also (a) increase OCC’s capacity to generate and monitor climate information that will allow for an improved response on adaptation, and (b) to better inform and educate the public on climate change issues, potential impacts and programmes, and activities being undertaken.
