Dear GEF Council Members, Operational Focal Points and GEF Agencies,
Further to my e-mail of June 1, 2020 on the subject of the Extension to Project Cancellation Deadlines, I am pleased to confirm that the 6-month extension also applies to approvals at the 58th Council meeting (as well as Medium-sized Projects approved before the conclusion of C.58). The impacts of the extension on these approvals are illustrated in the table below:
Type of Project (Examples) |
Date of PIF Approval |
Extended deadline for submission of endorsement/approval package to GEFSEC |
Extended deadline to obtain CEO endorsement/approval |
---|---|---|---|
Example 1: Full-sized Project |
June 3, 2020 |
December 3, 2021 (12+6 months) |
June 3, 2022 (18+6 months) |
Example 2: Medium-sized Project (2 step) |
June 3, 2020 |
August 3, 2021 (8+6 months) |
December 2021 (12+6 months) |
Sincerely,
Naoko Ishii, GEF CEO and Chairperson
