Annual Update on Complementarity and Coherence

The GCF is implementing a four-pillar operational framework to enhance coordination with other climate funds. Key achievements include the establishment of a joint steering committee for the Long-Term Vision (LTV) with the GEF, the fast-track reaccreditation of nine entities with the AF, and the development of a joint GCF-GEF pavilion for COP 26 and COP 27. The report details specific funding proposals and readiness grants that demonstrate national programming coherence, as well as ongoing technical dialogues to harmonize results indicators and impact measurement methodologies across funds.

• The GCF and GEF have established a joint steering committee to implement the Long-Term Vision on Complementarity, Coherence and Collaboration (LTV), which aims to guide collaboration while recognizing the "comparative advantages of the two institutions."
• Fast-track accreditation and reaccreditation processes are being used to streamline entity access; as of 31 August 2022, 49 of 113 GCF-approved entities underwent fast-track accreditation via the GEF, AF, or the European Commission's Directorate-General for International Development and Cooperation.
• The GCF and AF are implementing a structured approach to scale up successful AF projects using GCF resources, with discussions advanced in Belize, Cambodia, Ecuador, and South Africa.
• The GCF Secretariat provided technical inputs to 16 country programmes during 2021–2022 to enhance national complementarity and coherence, including for Belize, Botswana, Colombia, Côte d’Ivoire, Cuba, Eswatini, Ghana, Grenada, Islamic Republic of Iran, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Mexico, Federated States of Micronesia, Paraguay, Peru, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the Syrian Arab Republic.
• GCF and other climate funds are collaborating on a platform to harmonize results, indicators, and methodologies for measuring impact, with specific technical dialogues focusing on greenhouse gas emissions tracking and the agriculture, forestry and other land use (AFOLU) sector.
• The GCF and GEF are collaborating on the Great Green Wall initiative, including the development of a dedicated landing webpage for coherent messaging and the implementation of the IGREENFIN I project.
• The GCF is engaging with the CIF Administrative Unit to align programming, specifically exploring synergies with CIF's Accelerating Coal Transition (ACT) and Renewable Energy Integration (REI) programmes.
• The fifth Annual Dialogue of climate finance delivery channels, held on 3 November 2021, resulted in a joint funds statement on enhancing complementarity and coherence and a review of the Joint Funds Roadmap.
