GEF announces support of eligible Country Parties for UNCCD reporting in GEF-8
The Global Environment Facility has been supporting the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) national reporting process through the funding of so-called enabling activity projects since 2010 throughout the GEF-5, GEF-6, and GEF-7 funding cycles. UNCCD COP14 invited the GEF to continue supporting Parties to meet their reporting obligations under the Convention and to provide adequate financial resources in a timely manner. In response, the GEF will continue its support in the current GEF-8 funding cycle.
