RBM, Monitoring & Evaluation M&E in the GEF M&E levels and responsible Agencies M&E Policy Minimum requirements Role of the Focal Points Fifth Overall Performance Study (OPS5) Objective of the Overall Performance Studies Evaluation streams & OPS5 Theory of Change Content of OPS5 reports Knowledge Sharing and Community of Practice Questions & Answers 2

3 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”
4
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 4

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 FSPs and MSPs 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
7
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
8
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
9
Fifth component: enhancing capacities to monitor and evaluate environmental impacts and trends (should be identified as a priority in the NCSA capacity development action plan) Capacity development plan should be Formulated as a Medium-Size Project Or 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
10
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) For Country Portfolio Evaluations countries have the opportunity to provide their perspective to Council as well 10
11
Fifth Overall Performance Study (OPS5) 11
12
To assess the extent to which the GEF is achieving its objectives As laid down in the GEF Instrument and reviews by the Assembly As developed and adopted by the GEF Council in operational policies and programs for GEF financed activities And to identify potential improvements 12
13
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 Major element of OPS5 will be a meta-evaluation 13
14
Foundational Support for the creation of an environment that enables necessary changes to take place And…require constant attention and adjustment Demonstration Testing of approaches that are intended to lead to GEBs if adopted on a broader scale Investment Broader implementation of results of foundational and demonstration activities

16
Three quality assurance advisors Recognized experts from developed, newly emerging, and developing nations Ongoing advice and comments to the replenishment group Reference group Formed by staff from the GEF Agencies independent evaluation offices To provide peer reviews of sub-studies and other deliverables Will provide time to allow for meaningful reviews 16
17
First report: end of 2012 A meta-evaluation approach, drawing on existing GEF evaluations Final report: end of 2013 or early 2014 Final report will be tackled trough separate evaluation studies 17
18
Relevance of GEF to conventions guidance Ratings on outcomes and sustainability of finished projects Ratings of progress toward impact of finished projects Trends in catalytic role of GEF (foundation, demonstration and/or investment projects) Trends in ownership and country drivenness Better understanding of GEF longer term impact Trends in performance issues such as cofunding, management costs, quality at entry and supervision Trends in the implementation and achievements of the focal areas of the GEF 18
19
Trends in global environmental problems and the relevance of GEF -- will include the emergence of new financing A more in-depth look at focal area strategies and at the existing impact evidence Coverage of the reform process: GEF project cycle and modalities, direct access, STAR, Paragraph 28 Governance of the GEF, donor performance and resources mobilization The role of the private sector and civil society Cross-cutting policies: gender, participation, safegurads, and knowledge sharing Update of the SGP evaluation (since 2009) The role of STAP 19
20
OPS5 audience includes replenishment participants GEF Council Assembly Through the Assembly the members of GEF Findings will be shared with other GEF parties GEF Secretariat GEF Agencies STAP NGO Network Project proponents and others 20
21
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 21
