Consideration of accreditation proposals and activities – Addendum X Accreditation assessment of APL172

The GCF Accreditation Panel recommends the accreditation of World Vision Australia (WVA) as an international entity under the normal track, with a medium project size limit and medium environmental and social risk category (Category B). WVA demonstrated strong capacities in project management, gender equality, and environmental and social safeguards, though it must meet specific conditions regarding the publication of investigation and procurement guidelines to finalize its accreditation.

• The Accreditation Panel recommends that World Vision Australia (WVA) be accredited for an international access modality under the normal track, with a maximum individual project size of 'medium' (above USD 50 million and up to USD 250 million) and a maximum environmental and social risk category of medium risk (category B).
• WVA is found to fully meet the specialized fiduciary standard for project management and the GCF's revised Environmental and Social Policy for category B projects, as well as the GCF's updated Gender Policy.
• WVA partially meets basic fiduciary standards due to gaps in transparency, specifically the lack of public disclosure of investigation guidelines, procurement policies, and procurement awards.
• Accreditation is subject to conditions: WVA must publish investigation guidelines for third parties before receiving its accreditation certificate, and must adopt and publish procurement policies and a system for publicizing procurement notices and awards before submitting its first funding proposal.
• WVA has a significant track record in climate-relevant programming, with 68 per cent of its fiscal year 2024 portfolio (totaling USD 92.9 million) invested in climate mitigation and resilience.
• The organization operates through the World Vision Partnership in approximately 100 countries and directly oversees programming in 41 countries, including least developed countries and small island developing States.
