The Green Climate Fund’s Simplified Approval Process (SAP) was created to make climate finance more accessible and responsive, thus enabling smaller, lower-risk projects to address urgent climate needs in vulnerable countries. Since its inception, the SAP has evolved through continuous learning and refinement, introducing tools and approaches to strengthen capacity, accelerate procedures, and simplify documentation. Building on its 2020 assessment, the Independent Evaluation Unit is conducting a new evaluation of the SAP to examine its progress and emerging lessons, informing how it can continue to enhance efficiency, inclusiveness, and impact in a rapidly changing climate finance landscape.
