Work programme of the Secretariat for 2022 and administrative budget

The GCF Secretariat's 2022 work programme focuses on six priorities: enhancing country-driven investments and direct access, building a USP-aligned portfolio, managing portfolio implementation, supporting Board governance, optimizing operational efficiency, and consolidating institutional capacity for the GCF-2 replenishment. The proposed administrative budget for the Board, Secretariat, and Trustee is USD 87,813,586, representing a 5.1% increase over 2021. Key targets include advancing a pipeline of USD 1.77-2.4 billion to review and increasing the share of the portfolio under implementation to over 80%.

• The Secretariat's 2022 work programme is the first formally developed in full vertical alignment with the Updated Strategic Plan for 2020-2023 (USP), which sets programming goals for the first replenishment period (GCF-1).
• The proposed 2022 administrative budget for the Board, Secretariat, and Trustee is USD 87,813,586, a 5.1% increase from the 2021 approved budget of USD 83,530,460.
• The Secretariat aims to advance a pipeline of at least USD 1.77-2.4 billion to the Independent Technical Advisory Panel (ITAP) review in 2022, with specific targets for adaptation (USD 800-1100 million), direct access (USD 350-550 million), and the private sector facility (USD 750-900 million).
• The GCF intends to increase the share of its total portfolio under implementation to over 80% in 2022, building on a July 2021 baseline of 76%.
• The Secretariat projects record disbursements of USD 0.91-1.19 billion in 2022, which would bring the cumulative disbursement level to USD 3,379-3,391 billion by the end of the year.
• To address a capacity gap identified in a capability study, the Secretariat proposes increasing its total full-time equivalent (FTE) capacity to 350 by the end of 2022, while maintaining the current staff headcount cap of 250 by utilizing consultants and interns.
• The Secretariat will launch the GCF's second replenishment process (GCF-2) in July 2022, involving the development of a process document and budget for Board approval in Q1 2022.
• The 2022 digital agenda includes the rollout of an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, featuring a Global Financial Management system (GFMS) to automate budgeting, payments, and financial reporting.
• The Secretariat plans to implement a DAE Action Plan to scale up Direct Access Entity programming, including trialling expert placements in DAEs and developing standardized readiness packages.
• The Secretariat will undertake a novel overall review of GCF policies in 2022 to examine policy coherence, implementation status, and impacts across the entire policy suite.
