Can a country change its GEF agency in the middle of implementing a project ?
Once an agency has been endorsed by the country to submit a proposal and the proposal has been approved for implementation, the country should try to resolve any difficulties it faces with the agency by seeking assistance from the GEF Secretariat. If a country chooses to change its GEF agency after a project has been approved, the country will have to terminate the project with the GEF. After the termination procedures are completed the country can then request another agency to submit a new proposal. This would lead to delays in the implementation of the urgent activities in the NAPA. LDC Parties are thus encouraged to seek assistance through the LEG and the GEF Secretariat should they face any difficulties in implementing their projects.
