GCF insight #30

This is our 30th edition of our GCF insight report, entitled ‘Bridging the gap: Unlocking more effective collaboration between the GCF and the private sector’. This report seeks to explore the following questions: What does it take for private sector projects to successfully access GCF funding, and which systemic barriers, if any, are they still facing?
