Independent Technical Advisory Panel
The independent Technical Advisory Panel (the independent TAP) was established by Board decision B.07/03. The independent TAP operates as an independent technical advisory body of the GCF and conducts technical assessments of funding proposals submitted through the Secretariat by GCF accredited entities. The independent TAP conducts the assessments and reports the results to the Board of Directors during the stage of "analysis and recommendations to the Board“ of the GCF project and programme approval cycle.
The independent TAP assesses the performance of the funding proposals submitted to GCF against six GCF activity-specific criteria. To conduct its technical assessment of funding proposals, the independent TAP is provided with the final funding proposal; the Secretariat’s assessment of compliance with safeguards, policies and performance of the project or programme against activity-specific criteria; and other necessary information that may reasonably be requested from the Secretariat. In addition, the independent TAP may be provided, as per the applicable project and programme activity cycle, with previous submissions of the funding proposals for initial review and feedback.
