What determines whether a country receives an individual allocation or is a part of the group?
All eligible countries are ranked based on the allocation formula. The highest ranked countries that account for at least 75% of the resources available in each focal area receive an individual allocation. The remaining countries are in the group. There is one exception. If a country satisfies any of the following three conditions, it cannot receive an individual allocation and instead is automatically part of the group: (a) the country is not a a participant in the GEF (b) the country has not received any funding in the focal area previously and (c) the GEF Performance Index data for the country is not available.
