To aid in assessing SAP proposals against its Investment Framework, GCF may require entities to submit economic and/or financial analyses with funding proposals. This guidance is intended to clarify GCF’s expectations for these analyses, including documentation requirements and technical standards.
The document may contain references to earlier SAP requirements and submission procedures. Please note that:
- The SAP funding ceiling referenced in this document may reflect a previous limit of USD 10 million. Following the update of the SAP policy (Decision B.32/05), SAP proposals may request up to USD 25 million in GCF funding.
- This document reflects earlier versions of the Concept Note and Funding Proposal templates. Applicants preparing new submissions should use the latest templates available through the GCF Partner Portal (GPP). While the overall information requirements remain broadly the same, the organisation, numbering, and references to specific sections in this guidance may not correspond exactly to the current templates.
