1 GEF Training for New Agencies 28-29 May 2015 Washington D.C. The System for Transparent Allocation of Resources (STAR) Sonja S. Teelucksingh

2 Outline  Background  The Workings of the STAR model  An Example Calculation  A Short Quiz!

3 Background  The current mechanism by which GEF resources are allocated to countries in three focal areas – Biodiversity, Climate Change, and Land Degradation  The Resource Allocation Framework (RAF) was the first PBA for the GEF and adopted for GEF-4  The STAR updated the RAF and was implemented for GEF-5  The STAR was recently updated for GEF-6

4 Objectives STAR aims to allocate scarce GEF resources within and among focal areas in order to:  maximise impact on the global environment  promote sound environmental policies and practices  meet convention requirements  match country driven priorities

6 Calculating STAR Allocations

7 Available Focal Area Funds

8 Calculating STAR Allocations

9 The Main Indices Global Benefits Index: measures a country’s relative share of GEF potential benefits that can be generated by a fixed amount of resource input into a focal area Country Performance Index: measures a country’s performance and capacity to deliver potential global environmental benefits GDP Index: designed to increase allocation of countries with a low GDP per capita

10 The Country Score Country Score = GBI 0.8 CPI 1.0 GDP -0.08

11 Calculating STAR Allocations

12 Preliminary Country Allocations  Country Share = Country Score / Sum of Country Scores for all eligible countries  Preliminary Allocation = Country Share * Available Focal Area Funds

13 Calculating STAR Allocations

14 Floors and Ceilings Focal Area Floor for LDCs Floor for Non LDCs Ceiling % Ceilings (US Mn) Climate Change3210%126 Biodiversity21.510%129.6 Land Degradation 10.510%43.1

15 Calculating STAR Allocations

16 Final Allocations  Adjustments for floors and ceilings mean there is a surplus or deficit relative to the preliminary allocation  This is then allocated among countries using the country scores  Process iterates until the full amount has been allocated among countries

17 Calculating STAR Allocations

18 Flexibilities and Marginal Adjustments  Flexibilities relate to the utilization(not allocation) of GEF resources  Countries are allowed to adjust their focal area allocations (but not their total envelope) Total Allocation XAllowed Marginal Adjustment X ≤ 7 millionunlimited X > 7 million2 million

21 Question 1 Country A has the following STAR allocations: Biodiversity = 3 million Climate Change = 4 million Land Degradation = 1 million (a)Does this country have full flexibility in the use of its resources? Why, or why not? (b) Is this country allowed any marginal adjustment across focal areas? If so, how much?

22 Question 2 Country B has the following STAR allocations: Biodiversity = 2 million Climate Change = 2 million Land Degradation = 1 million (a)Does this country have full flexibility in the use of its resources? Why, or why not? (b) Is this country allowed any marginal adjustment across focal areas? If so, how much?

23 Question 3 Country C is an LDC. During the STAR model simulations, Country B has preliminary allocations as follows: Comment on these values. (hint – floors!) BIODIVERSITY CLIMATE CHANGE LAND DEGRADATION PRELIMINARY ALLOCATIONS 1.72.40.8

26 Question 5 Given the following values, calculate the Country Scores for Country D for each of the three focal areas. BIODIVERSITY CLIMATE CHANGE LAND DEGRADATION GBI0.040.050.08 CPI3.25 GDPI13000 COUNTRY SCORE???
