The SOFF Steering Committee endorsed Decision 11.6 which outlines an approach to managing country funding requests for the remainder of SOFF’s extended First Implementation period (through 2027), in light of current financial constraints.
Under this approach, Investment funding requests that have undergone technical review and received clearance from the SOFF Secretariat but received no funding decision from the SOFF Steering Committee will be included in a pipeline. This pipeline will comprise of batches of Investment funding requests that are prioritized based on four criteria:
- Technical feasibility
- Project timing and scheduling
- Financial considerations
- Risk assessment
To enhance transparency and to support decision-making of operational partners in preparing future funding requests, the Investment phase pipeline has been made publicly available through the SOFF website: https://www.un-soff.org/soff-investment-phase-pipeline.
Should you have any questions or require clarification on this approach, please feel free to raise them in this discussion thread.
