GCF has begun implementing the Revised Accreditation Framework (RAF), part of a comprehensive set of reforms to improve GCF’s accreditation model. The RAF aims to make accreditation more transparent, responsive, and efficient, and increase fairness and country ownership while maintaining GCF’s fiduciary, environmental and social standards.
Key changes include streamlined screening requirements to reduce duplication and improve efficiency, and a year‑round pre‑screening questionnaire and two application cycles per year to provide greater clarity and predictability for applicants. The RAF also removes fixed re‑accreditation cycles and expands access for a broader range of partners, while reinforcing country ownership.
Under the RAF roll-out, GCF opened the accreditation application window from 19 January to 6 April, the first of two for 2026. For more information, visit the GCF Accreditation page.
