You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader version 8.1 or newer to complete this form. We recommend saving the file to your computer and completing it offline. Please read the guidance notes provided to assist in filling in the form.

If you have not used the Facility before we would advise that you contact us before filling out the form to discuss your loan requirements.

Applications are peer reviewed by the GEF Steering Committee. The Committee meets twice a year (usually May and November). Only under the most exceptional circumstances will applications be handled outwith these meetings. Every successful bid for equipment will be subject to our Terms and Conditions.

The next deadline for applications is 16th April 2010.

To allow sufficient time for the committee to process applications, successfully reviewed projects can not expect to begin until 8 weeks after the application deadline.
