The proposal for expanding the Green Climate Fund’s regional presence is being deliberated on today at the 44th Meeting of the GCF Board (B.44).

For the GCF observer network of civil society, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities, meaningful regional presence is not just about proximity: a wider, sustained, and inclusive consultation with local communities, CSOs and Indigenous Peoples in the countries is necessary to shape priorities, influence decisions, and hold institutions accountable.

Ahead of the 43rd Board Meeting (B.43) of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the GCF observer network of civil society, Indigenous Peoples, and local communities circulated this letter to Board members, alternates, and their respective advisors, expressing their concerns for the late disclosure of select funding proposals for consideration for B.43.

“The GCF processes for funding proposal design, consideration, and implementation exist for a reason, and yet it does not escape us that those reasons seem to be dismissed when the potential of funding for the private sector arises.”

According to the GCF’s Information Disclosure Policy, project and programme funding proposals should be disclosed 21 days before Board action. FP264, FP288, and SAP065 were published on October 14, 2025 ––only 13 days before B.43 is scheduled to begin.
