The report details the distribution of these requests by sector, region, and theme, while also tracking the progress of the Simplified Approval Process (SAP) pilot, the Project Preparation Facility (PPF), and several active requests for proposals (RFPs) including Enhanced Direct Access and REDD-plus result-based payments.

• As of 31 August 2018, the GCF pipeline consisted of 103 funding proposals requesting USD 6.3 billion in GCF funding, with a total investment value of USD 25.9 billion when including co-financing.
• The pipeline for concept notes as of the reporting date included 192 entries requesting USD 10.16 billion in GCF funding, with a total investment value of USD 24.3 million including co-financing.
• Requested GCF funding for funding proposals is distributed by theme as 38.7% for mitigation, 16.2% for adaptation, and 45.1% for cross-cutting projects.
• The Simplified Approval Process (SAP) pilot scheme pipeline as of August 2018 contained 24 proposals requesting USD 217 million in GCF funding, with one project in Namibia already approved for USD 9.3 million.

• The 'Mobilizing funds at scale' pilot programme attracted 350 concept notes from over 70 countries, with 30 concept notes shortlisted; however, 18 of these were from non-accredited entities, creating challenges in securing necessary accreditation.
