Annex XII: List of conditions and recommendations

The document outlines mandatory requirements and recommendations for various GCF funding proposals. General requirements for all proposals include signing a funded activity agreement (FAA), completing legal due diligence, and providing certification of the accredited entity's capacity. Specific conditions are detailed for several projects, including requirements for water reduction strategies in Barbados, technology procurement for pond water treatment in Bangladesh, and GHG emission analysis for cookstoves in Bangladesh. Additionally, the document provides recommendations for project implementation, such as ensuring O&M financing in Tajikistan and strengthening community knowledge management in Zambia.

• All funding proposals approved under decision B.19/12 must meet general requirements before the signing of the funded activity agreement (FAA), including the completion of "legal due diligence to the GCF Secretariat satisfaction" and the submission of a certificate or legal opinion confirming the accredited entity's capacity and authority to implement the project.
• For funding proposal FP069 (UNDP Bangladesh), the GCF requires the procurement of an independent consultant to identify sustainable technology for pond water treatment, ensuring the solutions avoid "proprietary technologies or name brands" and consider the capabilities of recipients to maintain the systems.
• Funding proposal FP070 (WB Bangladesh) is subject to conditions prior to FAA effectiveness, including the presentation of a "revised GHG emission reduction analysis" that accounts for different regions and seasons, and a sociocultural program to incentivize the development of sustainable woodlots.
• For FP073 (MoE Rwanda), the accredited entity must deliver a report explaining how climate change mitigation and adaptation were "mainstreamed in the Gicumbi district development plan 2018-2024" and provide a detailed plan for sustaining forestry, housing, and energy schemes.
• Funding proposal FP078 (Acumen Africa) includes specific financial commitments: the GCF will commit USD 13,000,000 for the first closing of ARAF if other investors commit at least USD 12,000,000, and the GCF will commit a maximum of 40% of total commitments for subsequent closings, capped at USD 10,000,000.
• For FP080 (AfDB Zambia), the accredited entity is required to develop a plan to enhance the "Zambian enabling environment for solar energy penetration," which includes promoting training for technicians, value chain schemes for SMEs, and knowledge sharing within the financial community.
• The GCF recommends that disbursements for all approved proposals only occur after the Fund has obtained "satisfactory protection against litigation and expropriation" or appropriate privileges and immunities in the implementing country.
