slide9. The Status Quo Scenario Local Provincial National International NIE The Fund continues its current interim arrangements with the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the World Bank, and its lines of accountability and reporting under the authority and guidance by the CMP. The Fund and the GCF are functionally independent from one another. Coherence could be enhanced through common guidance<br>
slide10. The Institutional Integration Scenario Local Provincial National International NIE Different degrees of integration between the Fund and the GCF could be envisaged. Possible options may include the Fund serving as: the “Adaptation Window” of the GCF; a specialized instrument or window of the GCF; or a dedicated mechanism based on innovative sources (building on the experience of the CER-monetization process), etc. The AF Board would have no role to play in such an “institutional integration” or rather replication
All Micro and Small project proposals for international GCF funding would instead be administratively approved The AF would not be a “window” or “instrument” under this form of “integration”, it would simply cease to exist.<br>
slide11. Why should the AF continue to exist? “It is fully operational and has a proven record, particularly in providing direct access. Indeed it is the first climate fund to engage in enhanced direct access, providing not only country ownership but country driven-ness. It is currently the only Fund with direct access projects/programmes under implementation; It is also operationally independent and able to perform its functions without extensive external support;”
“Given its unique mandate to address concrete adaptation projects, the Fund can provide targeted and specialised support to project proponents, even for smaller projects in highly localized contexts;”
“Its governance structure allows for greater (recipient) country ownership.” The AF is a multilateral funding instrument tailor-made for and dedicated exclusively to (‘small-scale’) concrete adaptation projects with specialised services that cannot (cost) effectively be provided by wholesale funders.<br>
slide12. The Operational Linkage Scenario Local Provincial National International NIE AF as GCF Multilateral Adaptation Funding Entity
(“Multilateral Funding Window”) Given the legal capacity of the Board, the GCF could conclude agreements with it, limited to certain operational aspects. This modality would allow the GCF to channel some of its operations (and resources) through the Fund (e.g. direct access, concrete adaptation projects). These agreements do not imply any change in the institutional arrangements for the Fund, and could be concluded by the Board regardless of them.<br>
