GCF project toolkit 2017: Guide to develop a project proposal for the Green Climate Fund (GCF)

This toolkit aims to guide Bangladesh's private sector to prepare and submit Green Climate Fund (GCF) project proposals, by providing a snapshot of the GCF’s project cycle and proposal requirements. This toolkit aims to help private sector entities understand the key considerations to take into account and fulfil the GCF’s requirements when developing funding proposals for the GCF. It covers the following topics: 

• Essentials to know before developing a GCF project;
• The GCF project cycle;
• The GCF proposal template; 
• Key GCF project development requirements;
• How to get started?
• Support available from the GCF to support full proposal preparation.

Users of this toolkit should also bear in mind that the GCF’s Results Based Framework and interim ESS are likely to evolve following the completion of the initial resource mobilisation period, based on experience gained and lessons learned.
