Through GCF direct access. We help governments become accredited entities and unlock large‑scale, long‑term climate finance.
The GCF Funding Journey
A complex process, made manageable. Under the revised Accreditation Framework, GCF follows a structured process from nomination through Board approval.
01
Government Nomination
The National Designated Authority (NDA) or focal point formally nominates a national entity for GCF accreditation.
02
Pre-screening & Application
Submission of a full application through the GCF Partner Portal, including all required institutional documentation.
03
Detailed Screening
GCF reviews fiduciary standards, environmental and social safeguards, gender policies, and institutional track record.
751.earth supports governments at every stage, from choosing the right entity to designing remediation plans and using readiness support to close gaps.
Why GCF Direct Access Matters
To implement their NDCs and climate strategies, developing countries need large‑scale, predictable finance. The Green Climate Fund channels resources through accredited entities that meet strict fiduciary, environmental, social, and gender standards.
Direct access allows governments to align funding with national priorities and reduce reliance on external intermediaries.
