IDCOL holds week-long series of capacity building workshops from Sunday

Infrastructure Development Company Limited (IDCOL), Bangladesh’s first Direct Access Entity (DAE) to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), is organising a week-long series of capacity building workshops and awareness sessions from 17–21 May 2026.

The initiative aims to strengthen understanding of global climate finance mechanisms, concessional financing opportunities and access pathways under the GCF programme among key stakeholders in Bangladesh, according to a press release.

The workshop series will bring together representatives from government institutions, financial institutions, private sector organisations and development partners through a range of interactive sessions, technical discussions and knowledge-sharing engagements. As the country’s accredited DAE to the GCF, IDCOL plays a key role in supporting country-led climate action by facilitating access to international climate finance for climate-resilient and low-emission development initiatives.

The programme is expected to enhance institutional readiness, strengthen project development capacity and promote greater collaboration among stakeholders working towards sustainable and climate-resilient growth in Bangladesh. Through this initiative, IDCOL reaffirms its commitment to enabling long-term climate finance solutions and supporting Bangladesh’s transition towards a resilient and sustainable future.
