- The GCF’s revised funding proposal template (PAP Funding Proposal Template v4.0) is being made available in Word format for reference only.
- The version available in the GCF Partner Portal (GPP) shall prevail over the Word version.
- The digital module may be updated periodically to reflect system enhancements, patches, or version updates. The Word version made available on the GCF website will be revised accordingly.
- Effective 1 August 2026, all FP submissions should be made through the new digital module.
- The old module will remain open only for B.46 proposals (including FP submissions and re-submissions) as a transitionary measure.
- All proposals targeting B.47 and subsequent Board meetings will need to be submitted using the updated format. Where proposals are in the old format, they should be transferred to the new digital module.
Updates in version 4.3 (compared with version 4.2, published on 01 August 2026):
1) Section C
- Higher word limits have been introduced for multi-country proposals. C.2 Economic context now allows "max. 1,500 words for multi-country proposals", and C.4 allows "max. 3,500 words for PAP multi-country proposals".
- C.6 Environmental and social risk assessment and C.7 Gender assessment and action plan now clarify that these sections are "[not applicable for SAP]".
2) Section E

3) Section F
- A clarification has been added that the "Integrity Risk Area" is mandatory to complete, and that an assessment is required for each of its Risk Sub-areas.
- New "Consequences" and "Comments" fields have been added in line with the structure of the system, each "max. 300 words".
