This document is the annex VII to the GCF Appraisal Guidance.

This toolkit has been developed to guide the appraisal of concept notes and funding proposals submitted under the Green Climate Fund (GCF) Simplified Approval Process (SAP). The toolkit is designed in a checklist format, offering a set of questions that frame the focus of the review stage. The objective of the toolkit is also to provide Accredited Entities, National Designated Authorities and the stakeholders involved in in the preparation of SAP projects/programmes with an in depth and clear view on the type and quality of information that should be provided when developing SAP proposals for the GCF.
