Évaluation de la préparation des propositions de finance climatique
This is a real readiness tool built on the Green Climate Fund's six investment criteria (investment framework for GCF-2, decision B.37/20, applicable from 1 January 2024) and the annexes the GCF asks for with a funding proposal. Answer 24 questions about your concept to see how a reviewer is likely to read it, which criteria are weak, and which proposal documents are still missing. Risalat's guideline monitor re-checks the GCF and Adaptation Fund sources every month.

Questions
Which criteria does this tool use?
The Green Climate Fund's six investment criteria: impact potential, paradigm-shift potential, sustainable development potential, needs of the recipient, country ownership, and efficiency and effectiveness, plus the proposal annexes the GCF asks for.
Does a high score mean my proposal will be approved?
No. The score shows how complete your preparation is against published criteria. Approval depends on the fund's review, the Board and your accredited entity.
Is it useful for the Adaptation Fund or other funds?
Yes, as a preparation check. Most climate funds look at similar questions: climate rationale, country ownership, cost-effectiveness, safeguards and gender. Check each fund's own template before you submit.

This is a self-assessment and guidance tool, not a GCF or Adaptation Fund review. Funds publish their own templates and criteria and change them over time: always use the current versions on the fund's website and the guidance of your accredited entity and national designated authority.
