| Facility Objectives |
The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a partnership for international cooperation where 183 countries work together with international institutions, civil society organisations and the private sector to address global environmental issues. Since its inception, the GEF has provided more than $12.5 billion in grants and leveraged over $58 billion in co-financing for thousands of projects in developing countries. The World Bank serves as the trustee of the GEF. The DBSA was accredited as a National Project Agency (NPA) for the Global Environment Facility (GEF) in 2014. As a NPA, the DBSA is committed to follow all GEF policies and establish the conditions in which the Bank can seek resources from the GEF Council for the preparation and implementation of projects in South Africa. Accreditation of the DBSA as a GEF agency has placed the DBSA at the global arena in terms of providing financial assistance to environment and climate change projects. This fits into the DBSA’s strategy and focus area of Energy/Environment. As a GEF agency, the Bank is at an opportune position to access and leverage funds from other global sources. |
