Work programme of the Secretariat for 2024 and administrative budget

The GCF Secretariat's 2024 work programme focuses on three priorities: enhancing country ownership and access, delivering impact and results, and focusing on people and performance. The plan includes scaling up direct access entities (DAEs), improving the speed of funding proposals, and implementing a new multi-year budgeting approach. The proposed total administrative budget for 2024, including the Board, Secretariat, Trustee, and independent units, is USD 125.682 million.

• The Secretariat has identified three top priorities for 2024-2027 to implement the USP-2 and execute GCF-2 resources: enhancing country ownership and access to GCF funding, delivering impact and results, and focusing on people and performance.
• To improve access, the Secretariat intends to refine the partnership model, develop a partnerships and access strategy, and study the potential for accredited entities to use their own systems and policies if they are substantially equivalent to GCF's.
• The GCF aims to increase programming capacity by 25-50 per cent during GCF-2 and targets a doubling of the number of direct access entities (DAEs) programming with the fund.
• For 2024, the Secretariat aims to submit 34-41 funding proposals (USD 2.14-2.63 billion) to the independent Technical Advisory Panel (TAP), with a target of 28-34 Board approvals (USD 1.75-2.2 billion).
• The Secretariat projects 2024 annual disbursements in the range of USD 994 to 1,492 million, an increase from the 2023 range of USD 728-1,063 million.
• The fund is implementing a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to improve the management of disbursements, reflows, and financial reporting, with the finance, procurement, and treasury modules scheduled for completion in 2024.
• The proposed total administrative budget for 2024, including the Board, Secretariat, Trustee, and independent units, is USD 125,682,000, which is a 0.5% increase over the 2023 approved budget.
• The Secretariat plans to shift toward a multi-annual budgeting and work planning approach to be mainstreamed by Board meeting B.40 for the 2025-2027 period.
• The Secretariat intends to increase its average staff headcount to 325 in 2024, with a goal of reaching a total of 350 by the end of the year.
