Annex XIII: List of conditions and recommendations

The document outlines mandatory requirements and recommendations for several GCF funding proposals across various countries. General requirements for all proposals include signing a funded activity agreement (FAA), completing legal due diligence, and confirming internal approvals. Project-specific conditions vary, including requirements for solar power financing in Mongolia, grievance mechanisms in Senegal, co-financing and budget increases for forest conservation in Bhutan, and water-balance studies in Ethiopia. Recommendations focus on gender-sensitive training, biodiversity protection in Egypt, and women's participation in water committees in Colombia.

• All funding proposals approved under decision B.18/08 must meet general requirements, including signing a funded activity agreement (FAA) within 180 days of Board approval or other specified dates, completing legal due diligence, and submitting a certificate confirming the accredited entity's capacity and internal approvals within 120 days.
• For FP 046 (XacBank Mongolia), the GCF requires that all approved funding be provided as a senior loan for a solar power plant and that a third-party report confirms the project will not crowd out other private sector renewable energy projects licensed by the Energy Regulatory Commission of Mongolia in the Choir area.
• FP 050 (WWF Bhutan) is subject to strict financial and reporting conditions, including a requirement for legally binding agreements for co-financing totaling USD 91,670,648 for the Transition Fund, and evidence of Royal Government of Bhutan (RGoB) budget increases of 20% in the first year and 5.2% annually thereafter for 14 years.
• For FP 058 (MOFEC Ethiopia), a critical condition prior to the first disbursement is the submission of a water-balance study for 66 target Kebeles to ensure the water table of the aquifer remains positive or neutral over the 22-year project lifespan.
• The GCF recommends that disbursements for all approved proposals only occur after the Fund has obtained protection against litigation and expropriation or appropriate privileges and immunities in the implementing country.
• Project-specific recommendations include avoiding construction in beach/water front areas during sea turtle nesting and hatching seasons for FP 053 (UNDP Egypt), and ensuring balanced gender participation in water committees for FP 056 (UNDP Colombia).
