Guidelines for the environmental and social screening of activities proposed under the Simplified Approval Process

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for accredited entities on the environmental and social screening of activities proposed for GCF financing under the Simplified Approvals Process (SAP) Pilot Scheme. The document notes that the accredited entities may have already in place their own environmental and social screening process that enables the accredited entities to achieve the similar purpose of screening as outlined in this guidance. In such a case, the accredited entities may decide to use their own system provided that their system is equivalently or more technically rigorous than the guidance presented in this document.
