Regional Focal Points

GEF CSO Network Members in each region elect a member CSO to act as a representative, called a Regional Focal Point (RFP). The elected CSO designates a senior individual to represent it at meetings of the Coordination Committee and other functions.

The RFPs represent their regions in the Coordination Committee and are considered the formal representative of the GEF-CSO Network in their respective regions.
