Guidance for preparing a pre-feasibility study under the Simplified Approval Process

GCF has introduced the Simplified Approval Process Pilot Scheme (SAP) as a way to apply for GCF funding for smaller-scale projects or programmes. It is specifically designed for adaptation or mitigation initiatives that require a GCF contribution of no more than USD 10 million which have minimal environmental and social risks.

This guidance provides a snapshot of how to compile a pre-feasibility study, a requirement for all SAP funding proposals - based on GCF Board Decision B.18/06. The pre-feasibility study is designed to demonstrate that the proposed project/programme is sound on technical, economic, social and environmental grounds.
