Transparency is a crucial ingredient in trusted development partnerships and climate action. To ensure transparency, UNDP recently launched the UNDP-GCF Project Portal. The new transparency portal focuses exclusively on UNDP-supported GCF-financed projects and programmes that are under development or already approved by the donors (GCF Portfolio Overview), providing access to the documentation, and information on the requested support and processes followed in facilitating access to GCF resources. To date there are 19 approved GCF-financed projects supported through UNDP through US$604 million in grants. UNDP has supported 74 countries to date in accessing GCF finance. Climate Actions Portal
