5. Photo 1 4.19” x 10.31” Position x: 8.74”, y:.18” Purpose of monitoring To understand whether the protected areas GCF has invested in are: Sufficiently financed in order to cover recurring protected area management costs (financial sustainability) Effectively managed to achieve conservation (biodiversity conservation) * also monitor GCF efficiency as a Fund

6. Monitoring framework: Portfolio level ~110 PAs ~30 projects / funds Biodiversity Conservation Financial Sustainability Underlying structure (process) Outcome (result) Protected area management effectiveness Successful biodiversity conservation e.g., deforestation Management indicators Effective fund management Adequate financing Financial return on investment & flow of funds to protected areas GoalMeasured by GoalMeasured by

13. Photo 1 4.19” x 10.31” Position x: 8.74”, y:.18” Opportunities -Design for utility to grantee, donor/grantee, and donor -Cost efficient -Model for PAs and can be applied to conservation projects generally -Need to articulate clear results to avoid the dung beetle dillema
