Summary Note

The MDG Achievement Fund (MDG-F) is funded by the Spanish government and is implemented through
UN agincies such as UNDP, UNICEF and FAO. One of the thematic windows for the funding is
environment and climate change; with special attention to the organization and management of
natural resources and the environment in the context of local rural development and food
security. Through this window, the MDG Achievement Fund seeks to support interventions that
improve environmental management and service delivery at the national and local level, increase
access to new financing mechanisms and enhance capacity to adapt to climate change. Of the 57
eligible UN Country Teams, 51 has submitted a proposal under this thematic window amounting to
