Mise à jour du processus d'approbation simplifié et du cycle d'activité

The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has updated its Simplified Approval Process (SAP) to accelerate the delivery of small-scale climate projects. To be eligible, projects must request a GCF contribution of up to 25 million USD and have minimal to no negative environmental or social impacts. The update introduces several streamlining measures, including making concept notes optional, allowing pre-feasibility studies instead of full feasibility studies, and developing guided templates for high-demand impact areas. The GCF Secretariat is specifically tasked with ensuring that Direct Access Entities (DAEs) account for at least 50% of approved SAP proposals. The process maintains standard GCF quality and policy requirements but employs a more proportionate review approach by the Secretariat and the Independent Technical Advisory Panel (ITAP).

• Projects or programs are eligible for the Simplified Approval Process (SAP) if they request a GCF contribution of up to 25 million USD and their potential negative environmental and/or social risks and impacts are classified as minimal to zero.
• The GCF Secretariat is required to support Direct Access Entities (DAEs) to ensure that their submissions constitute at least 50% of all approved SAP proposals over time.
• To accelerate the process, the GCF has made the submission of a concept note optional and allows funding proposals to be submitted with a pre-feasibility study rather than a full feasibility study.
• The Secretariat will develop guided proposal templates for frequently requested GCF impact areas, such as early warning systems, disaster risk reduction, resilient agriculture, clean energy access, and energy efficiency.
• The review process for SAP proposals by the Secretariat and the Independent Technical Advisory Panel (ITAP) is designed to be rapid and proportionate to the small size and low risk of the projects, and it exempts them from the high/medium/low pilot scale application when evaluating investment criteria compliance.
• The updated SAP policy applies to all SAP concept notes and funding proposals, including those currently in preparation that have not yet been approved by the Board.
