The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully-developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval.  \n2. The Templates approved by the Board (Annex 5 of the OPG, as amended in March 2016) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states:  \nFor regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process. Furthermore, a final project document is required for regular projects for the 2nd step approval, in addition to the approval template.  \n3. The first four criteria mentioned above are:  \n(i) Country Eligibility,  \n(ii) Project Eligibility,  \n(iii) Resource Availability, and  \n(iv) Eligibility of NIE/MIE.  \n4. The fifth criterion, applied when reviewing a fully-developed project document, is:  \n(v) Implementation Arrangements.  \n5. It is worth noting that at the twenty-second Board meeting, the Environmental and Social Policy (ESP) of the Fund was approved and at the twenty-seventh Board meeting, the Gender Policy (GP) of the Fund was also approved. Consequently, compliance with both the ESP and the GP has been included in the review criteria both for concept documents and fully-developed project documents. The proposal template was revised as well, to include sections requesting demonstration of compliance of the project/programme with the ESP and the GP.  \n6. At its seventeenth meeting, the Board decided (Decision B. 17/7) to approve “Instructions for preparing a request for project or programme funding from the Adaptation Fund”, contained in the Annex to document AFB/PPRC.8/4, which further outlines applicable review criteria for both  \nAFB/PPRC.35/13  \nconcepts and fully-developed proposals. The latest version of this document was launched in conjunction with the revision of the Operational Policies and Guidelines in November 2013 .  \n7. Based on the Board Decision B.9/2, the first call for project and programme proposals was issued and an invitation letter to eligible Parties to submit project and programme proposals to the Fund was sent out on April 8, 2010 .  \n8. The following fully-developed project/programme document titled “Green, Resilient, and Adaptive CHT Economy (GRACE)-LoCALplus” was submitted for Bangladesh by the International Center for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), which is a Regional Implementing Entity of the Adaptation Fund.  \n9. This is the sixth submission of the fully developed project proposal, using the two-step submission process.  \n10. It was first resubmitted in the forty-first meeting as a project ","cbCaiacNJnYJzGCv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiacNJnYJzGCv","pdf",1895549,229,"English","# Background\n## Two-step approval process and review criteria\n## Templates and additional compliance requirements (ESP and GP)\n## Board decisions and submission history\n## GRACE-LoCALplus and technical review","[{\"question\":\"What approval process does the Adaptation Fund use for regular project and programme proposals?\",\"answer\":\"Regular proposals exceeding US$ 1 million follow either a one-step fully developed submission or a two-step process, starting with a brief concept endorsed by the Board and followed by a fully developed document reviewed by the PPRC for final Board approval.\"},{\"question\":\"Which review criteria are applied at the first step for regular project concepts?\",\"answer\":\"The first four criteria apply at the concept review stage: Country Eligibility, Project Eligibility, Resource Availability, and Eligibility of NIE/MIE.\"},{\"question\":\"What additional requirements are incorporated into the review criteria for concept and fully developed documents?\",\"answer\":\"Compliance with both the Environmental and Social Policy (ESP) and the Gender Policy (GP) is included for both concept documents and fully developed project documents, and the proposal template was revised to request evidence of such compliance.\"}]","PROPOSAL FOR BANGLADESH - Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee 35th Meeting | PDF",577,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":99},[100,104,108,112,117,122,127,130,135,138,142],{"id":22,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":101,"show_sort_weight":102,"slug":103},"Story & Novel",90,"story-novel",{"id":26,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":33,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":109,"show_sort_weight":110,"slug":111},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":113,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":114,"show_sort_weight":115,"slug":116},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":118,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":119,"show_sort_weight":120,"slug":121},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":86,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":29,"show_sort_weight":128,"slug":129},30,"research-report",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":134},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":137},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":139,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":140,"show_sort_weight":139,"slug":141},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":143,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":25,"category_name":144,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":145},19,"General","general"]
