Schéma pilote de processus d’approbation simplifié

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has introduced a pilot scheme to reduce the time and effort required for approving small-scale projects. To be eligible, projects must have transformative potential, request no more than 10 million USD, and have minimal to no environmental and social risks. The scheme utilizes simplified Concept Notes and Funding Proposals, with a specific goal that direct access entities comprise at least half of the approved projects. Projects with known 'risk factors'—such as those affecting indigenous peoples or critical infrastructure—are excluded regardless of their scale.

• To qualify for the pilot scheme, projects or programs must meet three specific criteria: they must be ready for scaling with transformative potential for low-emission and climate-resilient development, request GCF funding not exceeding 10 million USD, and have environmental and social risks classified as minimal to null.
• Certain activities are generally considered to have minimal or no environmental and social impacts, including capacity building, planning support, small-scale renewable energy (pico to micro level), early warning systems, and small-scale rural water supply and drainage.
• The scheme explicitly excludes projects with 'risk factors' that require additional due diligence, such as activities involving land acquisition, displacement, impacts on indigenous peoples, work in protected ecological zones, or the creation of hazardous waste.
• The GCF will only consider proposals from already accredited entities and intends to provide support to direct access entities to ensure they represent at least 50% of the projects approved under this pilot.
• The approval process is streamlined through the use of a simplified Concept Note and a simplified Funding Proposal format, which includes a pre-feasibility study and a stakeholder engagement plan with a grievance redress mechanism.
