2) Anticipated timeline: Including, if known: (i) start date; (ii) estimated project duration; (iii) required output date [if applicable]. Please note that the targeted timeframe for completing requested projects should be 18 months or less from the start date.
3) Requesting institution(s) within the country and contact details: Please note that requests for ZEV-RRF support must be submitted entirely by or in direct partnership with a national government ministry and/or technical agency. The ZEV-RRF currently cannot accept requests from entities unaffiliated with the national government of an eligible country.
4) Brief description of the request (~250 words) Please provide a concise summary of the request to the RRF, addressing the specific scope and key questions which arose from any bilateral and/or recent multilateral Country Dialogues.
If relevant, please also include any target vehicle segments (e.g., cars, buses, 2-wheelers)
5) Expected outcomes/rationale Please briefly describe the impact that the requested technical assistance could have in advancing the ZEV transition in your country (e.g., updating NDC and/or developing a national road transport sector target, formulating new policies/regulations, securing capital investment for infrastructure, etc.). Feel free to contact
[email protected] if you have additional clarifying questions.
6) Expected outputs/deliverables from the technical assistance Please briefly describe your vision for the final product of this technical assistance (e.g., research report(s), analysis, technical training (workshop, presentation), policy design support, etc.).
7) Brief summary of any relevant background for this request and/or (if applicable) previous iterations Please provide any additional background for the request. If this proposal has changed over the course of discussions with the ZEV-RRF Hub team, please also provide a brief summary of what those changes relate to and the rationale behind those changes.
9) Optional: Potential/desired Spokes If you have a particular Spoke(s) in mind who might be well-placed to respond to this request, please indicate that here. If any discussion with such organisations has taken place already, please provide some details on that engagement (e.g., during bilateral and/or multilateral Country Dialogues). A full list of ZEV-RRF Spoke organizations, our technical assistance delivery partners, can be found at zevtc.org/rapid-response-facility.
10) Estimated resources Estimate of financial and/or technical resources that will likely be required in addressing the topic of this request.
Please note that the Facility does not have the capacity to provide direct, bespoke funding support since the RRF platform is primarily intended to provide technical assistance through the expertise of its Spoke network. However, some financial assistance may be available at the discretion of the Spoke Network, depending on the project. If funding is made available, it will primarily support the cost of carrying out the requested technical assistance. ZEV-RRF-coordinated financial assistance cannot cover costs for purchasing, upgrading, or repairing physical assets.
