59th Meeting of the GEF Council

The 59th Meeting of the GEF Council is scheduled to take place from 7-11 December 2020.  A consultation with the GEF-CSO Network will take place on 4 December. 

The Council is the GEF's main governing body. It comprises 32 Members appointed by constituencies of GEF member countries (14 from developed countries, 16 from developing countries and 2 from economies in transition). Council Members rotate every three years or until the constituency appoints a new Member.

The Council meets twice annually to develop, adopt and evaluate the operational policies and programs for GEF-financed activities. It also reviews and approves the work program (projects submitted for approval), making decisions by consensus.
