GEFfunded

GEFfunded refers to projects, initiatives, or organizations that receive financial support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The GEF is a multilateral environmental fund that provides grants and investment for projects related to biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, international waters management, land degradation, and chemicals and waste management. These funds are channeled through implementing agencies such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and the World Bank. Projects that are GEFfunded are typically designed to achieve measurable environmental benefits and contribute to sustainable development goals. The funding mechanism aims to leverage additional financing from other sources, promoting a more sustainable approach to environmental protection and resource management. Organizations and governments seeking to undertake projects within the GEF's focal areas can apply for these funds through proposals that demonstrate clear environmental impact and alignment with GEF objectives. The GEF's work is guided by its member countries and operates through replenishment cycles that determine the overall funding available for a given period.
