What countries are eligible to receive GEF resources?
Eligibility for GEF resources is defined in the GEF instrument and is separately determined for each focal area. In all cases, a country has to be a party to the relevant international convention to be eligible for resources under a focal area. In addition, a country has to be either eligible based on the guidance of the convention or be a developing country that is eligible to borrow from the World Bank or for technical assistance from UNDP.
