How To Access GEF Grants

UNDP divides the countries of the world into 5 regions: Arab States, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific, and Europe and the CIS. UNDP country offices are the first point of contact for project proponents.

The country office will advise you on the eligibility of your proposal through the GEF and on your options for the different types of grants. If your proposal is considered eligible, our regional coordinators work with the country office to guide you through eligibility criteria and the GEF project cycle.

The GEF provides different types of grants for proposals the benefit the global environment in the six focal areas of action. For more information, please see GEF Grant Opportunities.

The subdivisions at the left also provide more detailed guidance and information on preparing a proposal for submission through UNDP-GEF.
