What is the RAF?
The Resource Allocation Framework (RAF) is a new system adopted by the GEF Council in September 2005 to allocate GEF resources to recipient countries based on global environmental priorities and country-level performance. The RAF is designed to increase the predictability and transparency in the way GEF allocates resources by specifying a well-defined and publicly disclosed method for allocating resources to countries. The RAF increases predictability by specifying, at the beginning of each four-year replenishment period, the resources each eligible country can expect from the GEF during that period, and how these initial allocations will be updated at the middle of the replenishment period.
