Principios generales y lista orientativa de gastos que podrían estar cubiertos en las comisiones y gastos de gestión de proyectos del GCF
Summary
The document outlines the financial rules for GCF project fees and management costs. It specifies a disbursement schedule where 90% of fees are paid during project implementation and 10% upon final report approval. It defines the roles of accredited entities (AE) and executing entities, sets documentation requirements for management costs exceeding 5% or 7.5% for projects over USD 3 million, and provides detailed lists of eligible activities, such as project supervision, financial monitoring, and staffing costs.
Key insights
- The GCF employs a specific disbursement schedule for agreed fees: 90% is disbursed either proportionally to project fund disbursements or according to a proposed schedule (with the first disbursement not exceeding 50% of total fees), while the remaining 10% is released upon the Secretariat's approval of the final project report.
- For funding proposals exceeding USD 3 million, the GCF requires detailed supporting documentation if project management expenses exceed 5%, and further detailed justifications if those expenses exceed 7.5%.
- Accredited entities (AE) or executing partners managing more than five GCF projects or preparatory support projects are expected to identify synergies to achieve cost savings across their portfolio.
- The document provides an indicative list of eligible fee-covered activities, including project supervision (at least one mission per year), financial and procurement management, and the preparation of final closure documents.
- Eligible project management expenses may include personnel (project managers, finance and administrative staff) and direct costs (office equipment, IT systems, and travel), but exclude general budget classifications like 'miscellaneous' or 'contingency' expenses.
