GCF Water Project Design Guidelines

The GCF Water Project Design Guidelines offer a framework for creating climate-resilient water projects, covering domains from water conservation to climate-resilient WASH. The guidelines include actionable insights for addressing climate risks, reducing emissions, and integrating sanitation with socioeconomic goals, alongside step-by-step proposal development guidance.

• The GCF utilizes innovative financing mechanisms to support several key water security domains, including water conservation, efficiency and reuse, hydrological observation, early warning and risk assessment, integrated water management and SDG-6, ecosystem-based adaptation, and climate-resilient WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene).
• Part 3 of the guidelines offers specific guidance on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, managing climate risks, and aligning sanitation systems with environmental and socioeconomic objectives, while providing a step-by-step process for proposal development.
