The third component, involving the implementation and monitoring of the “Grant Program of Capacity Development in the Field of Climate Change in Turkey” is the most powerful in terms of stakeholder impact, among other components. The grant program within the project consists of 38 grant projects and includes a large number of stakeholders such as municipalities, universities and NGOs. Therefore, it is a powerful tool especially in terms of producing solutions at local level. Within the scope of this component, the grant beneficiaries are given continuous support in the implementation of the project.
MoEU Environment and Urbanisation Specialists started to visit the grant projects in order to identify the strengths and weaknesses in the implementation of the grant projects and to follow the development of the projects.
