Result based management - Setting goals and objectives, Monitoring, learning and decision making
Evaluation is a “reality check” on RBM RBM, especially monitoring, tell whether the organization is
“on track” Evaluation could tell whether the organization is “on the
right track”
Two overarching objectives:
Promote accountability for the achievement of GEF objectives through the assessment of results, effectiveness, processes, and performance of the partners involved in GEF activities
Promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing on results and lessons learned among the GEF and its partners as a basis for decision making on policies, strategies, program management, programs, and projects; and to improve knowledge and performance

Design of M&E Plans Completed and fully budgeted M&E plans by CEO
endorsement for FSPs, and CEO approval for MSPs. Project log frames should align with GEF Focal Area result frameworks contained in the GEF-5 RBM.
Implementation of M&E Plans Project/program monitoring and supervision will include
execution of the M&E Plan Project/Program Evaluations
All full and medium size projects will be evaluated. Reports should be sent to the GEF EO within 12 months of project completion.
Engagement of Operational Focal Points M&E Plans should explain how GEF OFPs will be engaged
in M&E activities.6
Engagement of Operational Focal Points M&E plans should include how OFPs will be engaged OFPs will be informed on M&E activities, including Mid Term
Reviews and Terminal Evaluations, receiving drafts for comments and final reports
OFPs will be invited to contribute to the management response (where applicable)
GEF Agencies keep track of the application of this requirement in their GEF financed projects and programs
7
Keep track of GEF support at the national level Keep stakeholders informed and consulted in plans,
implementation and results of GEF activities in the country Disseminate M&E information, promoting use of evaluation
recommendations and lessons learned Assist the Evaluation Office, as the first point of entry into a
country: identify major relevant stakeholders coordinate meetings assist with agendas coordinate country responses to these evaluations
8
Fifth component: enhancing capacities to monitor and evaluate environmental impacts and trends. This should be identified as a priority in the NCSA capacity development action plan
The capacity development plan should be formulated as a medium size project, or it should be integrated into a broader proposal that would be formulated as MSP or FSP – if MSP it should have 1:1 cofunding
Development of regional partnerships could be considered
Funding available from $44m set-aside for capacity development
9
A management response is required for all evaluation reports presented to the GEF Council by the GEF EO
GEF Council takes into account both the evaluation and the management response when taking a decision
GEF EO reports on implementation of decisions annually (Management Action Record)
In the case of Country Portfolio Evaluations countries have the opportunity to provide their perspective to Council as well

Evaluation Streams
11
Performance Evaluations assess: institutional and procedural issues across the GEF
focal areas experience with GEF strategies and policies.
Annual Performance Report assesses: Project Outcomes Sustainability of Outcomes Quality of Monitoring and Evaluation Quality of Implementation & Execution Quality of Terminal Evaluation
The APR also includes periodic reviews of: Quality at Entry Quality of Supervision Co-Financing Other performance issues
12
Reviews recently completed and in progress: APR 2010 and 2011 Earth Fund
Planned reviews: APRs 2012 -13 STAR Mid-Term Review Direct Access Mid-Term Review
13
Impact evaluation assess the positive and negative, primary and secondary long-term effects produced by a development intervention, directly or indirectly, intended or unintended.
Themes addressed:GEF contributions to progress towards impactImpact pathways and factors affecting further progress towards impact GEF Contributions to changes in environmental stress, environmental status and socio-economic status
14
Recently completed and in progress: Impact evaluation on biodiversity in Peru International waters (South China Sea), and climate
change
Planned: Biodiversity and one more focal area to be determined ROtI analysis of closed projects
15
Country Level Evaluations assess GEF support in a country across all GEF focal areas, Agencies, projects and programs.
The country is used as the unit of analysis. CPEs assess the relevance, results, and efficiency of GEF
projects at the country level, to see: How these projects perform in producing results; How these results are linked to national environmental
and sustainable development agendas as well as to the GEF mandate of achieving global environmental benefits.
16
Two Country Level Evaluations modalities: Fully-fledged Country Portfolio Evaluations (CPEs), and Country Portfolio Studies (CPSs); reduced in scope, they
provide additional evaluative coverage of country portfolios in each GEF geographic region.
CPSs are conducted in parallel and in collaboration with a country evaluation of a GEF Agency, to reduce the evaluation burden to countries.
Completed, ongoing and planned country level evaluations:
Recently completed and in progress: Nicaragua, OECS, Jamaica, El Salvador (completed) Brazil, Cuba, India, Timor Leste, Sri Lanka (ongoing)
Planned FY13-15 : Asia, Africa, MENA, ECA
17
Evaluations on topics of cross-cutting issues: Programs, processes, focal area strategies, cross-sectoral
and other thematic issues and special reviews Recently completed evaluations:
Strategic Priority for Adaptation (SPA) National Capacity Self-Assessments (NCSA) Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF)
Planned reviews: Enabling Activities Focal Area Strategies

Fifth Overall Performance Study OPS 5
19
20
Consolidation and strengthening of the four streams of evaluative evidence: Country Portfolio Evaluations: up to 15 during GEF-5 Impact Evaluations: International Waters, Climate Change and
other focal areas Performance Evaluations: APR continued and strengthened as well
as independent process reviews Thematic Evaluations: focal area strategies and adaptation
Verification and ratings of outcome and progress toward impact
Coverage of the reform process: GEF project cycle and modalities, direct access, STAR, Paragraph 28
Increased attention to the catalytic role of the GEF Trends in ownership and country drivenness Trends in global environmental problems and relevance of
the GEF to the conventions More in-depth look at the focal area strategies, including
sustainable forestry management Better understanding of the longer term impact of the GEF
21
Project cycle issues: efficiency of decision making in the GEF? Stakeholder consultations: are the ECW developing in a
continuous consultation process? What more would be needed? Is e-survey sufficient?
Global and regional projects? Specific sub-regional issues?
22
M&E contributes to knowledge building and organizational improvement: Findings and lessons should be accessible to target
audiences in a user-friendly way Evaluation reports should be subject to a dynamic
dissemination strategy Knowledge sharing enables partners to capitalize on lessons
learned from experiences Purpose of KM in the GEF:
Promotion of a culture of learning Application of lessons learned Feedback to new activities
