The document outlines the IRENA Project Navigator, a tool being developed by IRENA to help improve renewable energy project development and implementation. It discusses the background and need for the Navigator, its components and objectives. The Navigator includes guidelines, an interactive online platform, and a financial navigator to help project developers navigate the development process. It will benefit member countries, developers, financiers and others. Next steps include expanding the technical topics covered, pilot projects, and regional adaptations with the goal of improving renewable energy project success and financing. Outreach to member countries will gather feedback and support customization of the Navigator.
