Independent synthesis of the GCF's Accreditation function (Accred2020)
A key component of the IEU's 2020 Work Plan and Budget is an independent synthesis of the Green Climate Fund’s accreditation function. Accreditation is central to the business model of the GCF. As provided by the Governing Instrument, recipient countries nominate competent subnational, national and regional implementing entities for accreditation. In the GCF business model, Accredited Entities are responsible for delivering finance to developing countries. The synthesis is a desk study that examines existing evidence on accreditation. The final report of the study is presented to the Board at B.26.
