The GCF Concept Note Navigator is an online tool designed to help you develop Concept Notes for the GCF.

How the GCF Concept Note Navigator Works:

  • Discover Relevant Samples: Simply select your country, sector, and hazard. The "Results" page will then display sample Concept Notes tailored to your selections, making it easier to find examples most relevant to your needs.

  • Access Practical Guidance: For each section of the sample Concept Note, you will find three types of useful tips for writing effective applications. Each sample provides direct links to valuable information, scientific tools, and best practices related to that application.

  • Guidance from GCF from the GCF outlining what belongs in each section.
  • Advice on how to write each section or a summary of what should be included.
  • Links to scientific tools and web pages that support your description of each section.

What Makes This Tool Unique?
The navigator focuses on the essential elements required for a strong Concept Note. It ensures your proposal aligns with key national adaptation plan documents, such as National Adaptation Plans (NAPs), Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), and GCF Country Programmes, as well as the GCF Sectoral Guides. All sample Concept Notes are developed by referring to these important documents.
We hope the GCF Concept Note Navigator serves as a practical resource that supports you in preparing successful Concept Notes. This tool offers valuable insights drawn from a variety of country examples, along with clear guidance and explanations tailored specifically for Asia-Pacific nations.
