Inception Workshop

The Inception workshop takes place after the grant is signed between the WWF GEF Agency and the Executing Agency, and the PMU staff have been contracted. At the request of government authorities, an official ceremony may take place.

The WWF GEF Agency will ensure that the project management unit (PMU) staff have a clear understanding the mutual working relations.

It is also common to hold the first meeting of the Project Steering Committee (PSC) immediately following the inception workshop. This first meeting should be used to review the PSC’s Terms of Reference, and to secure approval or a no-objection to the project annual workplan and budget and any other key project documents.
