What is the CLEAN Helpdesk?

The CLEAN Helpdesk is a dedicated support system for UK officials to fulfill the climate and nature ambitions outlined in UK international development policy.

Users can access resources in our resource library which include best practices and relevant materials.

Users can submit a request form detailing their specific needs for technical assistance. Our team of experts engages in dialogue to refine requirements, ensuring tailored assistance. Gender equality, disability and social inclusion are integral to our approach. We can then provide technical support for 2 to 20 days. If another technical assistance facility is better placed to help you, we will refer you, to ensure you get the support you need.
