Accreditation - Process - 2. Pre-screening

Following nomination (where applicable) prospective applicants undergo pre-screening by the GCF Secretariat.

The pre-screening process is intended to be a preliminary check to identify whether the entity meets basic criteria to fulfil the role and responsibilities of an AE as identified in the RAF, and if it is adequately prepared to proceed with the full application.

For more information on the pre-screening process please refer to the Pre-screening page.

Organizations that complete this stage will be invited to submit a full application during an upcoming accreditation window.

Applicants that are not ready and able to proceed with accreditation may explore other ways to engage with GCF. Where appropriate, the Secretariat may provide general guidance on potential options, such as partnering with an existing Accredited Entity or accessing readiness support through the Readiness and Preparatory Support Programme to strengthen institutional capacities before reapplying.
