The Cost Recovery from Other Resources - GMS procedure is now available in French and in Spanish. |

The Guidance Note on GMS (Indirect Costs) for International Financial Institutions (IFIs) has been revised to reflect that the GMS cost recovery rate applied for IFIs is based on the configuration of parties that enter into financing agreements with UNDP (and not on the ‘form’ or agreement template used). The revised guidance note further details that IFI preferential rates (5%) are applicable to financing agreements signed between UNDP and an IFI (or a tripartite agreement concluded by UNDP, IFI and the Government), where both of the following criteria apply:...

A GMS rate of 5% is now applicable for all IFIs with an annual volume that exceeds $50M for loan or credit guarantee implementation support. The current GMS rate of 8% will continue to apply for grant financing, and to financing from IFIs below the annual volume threshold....
