After vetting such projects and doing the necessary due diligence, Pegasys developed GCF funding concept notes for them, and a full proposal to submit to a climate finance donor.

Role in Project: Climate Change Technical Advisor

 

Shravya was a senior climate expert supporting multiple workstreams of CRIDF 2, including the Resilience and Sustainability workstreams, on behalf of Pegasys. CRIDF aims to provide long-term, pro-poor solutions to water issues in southern Africa. CRIDF’s major value-addition is in working with organisations across southern Africa to demonstrate how they can better build and manage their own water infrastructure, and how such infrastructure can be tailored to be (i) climate resilient itself, as well as to (ii) improve people’s lives despite the shocks and stresses their water resources face from a changing climate. Pegasys is leading CRIDF’s sustainability workstream and supporting major elements of the climate finance workstream. As part of CRIDF’s ongoing efforts to equip infrastructure project managers with the tools to integrate climate change considerations into the project cycle (i.e. to “climate proof” investments, and to ensure maximization of climate adaptation benefits from the projects), Shravya updated and strengthened multiple climate change risk and vulnerability screening tools, guidelines, and protocols.
