Replenishment

Donor nations fund the GEF. Every four years, donors commit money through a process called the "GEF Replenishment." In August 2006, 32 donor countries pledged $3.13 billion to the fourth GEF Replenishment, which will fund operations between 2006 and 2010.

The 32 donors to the fourth replenishment are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Many donors increased their contribution levels to help achieve a GEF-4 replenishment larger than that of the GEF-3, demonstrating an extraordinary showing of financial support to the GEF. The countries that agreed to provide voluntary supplemental contributions are Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Japan, Korea, The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
