Regional Focal Points
Currently, a formal review of the Regional Focal Points elections for the GEF CSO Network is underway to determine whether the elections were conducted fairly and transparently. For more information please contact us.
GEF CSO Network members in each region elect a member CSO to serve as a Regional Focal Point (RFP). The elected CSO designates one or two senior representatives to attend Coordination Committee meetings and other relevant functions.
RFPs serve as facilitators for CSOs and act as an administrative liaison for the GEF-CSO Network in their respective regions.
