Funding Options

GEF’s three Implementing Agencies and seven Executing Agencies (under the policy of expanded opportunities) work with the operational focal point in each recipient country to develop project ideas that are consistent both with the country’s national programs and priorities and with GEF’s operational strategy and programs. Regional or global programs and projects may be developed in all countries that endorse the proposed activity.

The amount of grants are determined by the type of project, which is a function of project size. The types of projects are: Full-Sized Projects, Medium-Sized Projects, Enabling Activities, and Small Grants Programme. The table below indicates the range of grants and the approving authority.
