UNOPS PCU Results Per GEF IW Scorecard, focus on.. –Catalytic Impacts (cf. “Outcomes” and more) –Implementation Progress (Delivering “Outputs”) –Disbursement –Co-finance

Outcomes (Catalytic Impacts) According to MTE Report, stakeholder interviews indicate “satisfactory” delivery of outcomes for all but 1 project component, as of end 2006: A. Information Sharing: >75% projects use IW-IMS and >50% of users obtain needed info by B. Structured Learning: 30+ projects apply lessons from IW:LEARN structured learning to improve TWM in the basins by C. IW Conferences: Representatives from all GEF IW projects participate in 2 portfolio-wide review, replication and partnership events D. Testing Innovative Approaches: GEF IW projects and partners benefit from a set of demonstration activities integrating TWM information sharing and structured learning. E. Partnerships to Sustain Benefits: TWM structured learning and information sharing institutionalized. [Marginally Unsatisfactory.] Need to supplement interviews with “hard data” as input to TE (2008)
