GCF Water Project Design Guidelines

The GCF Water Project Design Guidelines provide a programmatic framework and innovative financing mechanisms for developing climate-resilient water projects, covering domains from water conservation to climate-resilient WASH. The guidelines include specific guidance on proposal development, climate risk mitigation, and the strengthening of institutional and regulatory mechanisms for organizations seeking GCF funding.

• The GCF Water Project Design Guidelines offer a programmatic framework for creating climate-resilient water projects, utilizing innovative financing to address several specific domains: 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 is specifically designed for organizations applying for GCF funding, providing step-by-step proposal development guidance, strategies for mitigation and adaptation, and methods for integrating sanitation systems with socioeconomic and environmental goals. It also offers recommendations to improve financing, regulatory, institutional, and policy mechanisms.
