GCF/B.34/27

The document outlines a draft accreditation strategy for the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to refine its hybrid operating model, which balances transformative programming targets with capacity development for accredited entities (AEs). The strategy aims to enhance the efficiency of the accreditation and re-accreditation process, fill capability and coverage gaps to support paradigm-shifting programming, and increase the proportion of direct access entities. It further proposes a tailor-made approach to AE performance based on engagement and capacity to reduce transaction costs and right-size the AE network.

• The GCF currently utilizes a hybrid operating model that combines ambitious transformative programming targets with objectives for the capacity development of accredited entities.
• The draft accreditation strategy proposes three primary goals: improving the efficiency and inclusiveness of accreditation/re-accreditation, filling capability and coverage gaps to increase direct access entities and high-quality programming, and optimizing incentives for partners to develop GCF programming capacity.
• The strategy emphasizes the necessity of clarifying the GCF operating model to right-size the AE network, reducing transaction costs through process efficiency, and applying a tailor-made approach to AE performance based on their specific capacity and engagement levels.
