GEF Policy reforms
• Revision of focal area strategies
• Results based management (RBM)
• Streamlining of the GEF project cycle
• Level playing field among GEF agencies
• Resource Allocation Framework (RAF)
Revision of focal area strategies
• Focus on priority issues
• Programmatic approach
• Measurable results
• Integration across focal areas
• Consistency with the replenishment of GEF4
FA strategies – revision process
• Advisory groups (TAGs and SAG) with external experts, STAP, Conventions
• Drafts and process papers posted on the GEF website
• Comments received from GEF partners and also web-posted
• Revised focal area strategies presented to Council in June ’07
Revised focal area strategies
• Strategic objectives (long-term) with expected impacts
• Strategic programs for GEF-4 with expected outcomes
• Measurable indicators for impacts and outcomes
• Harmonized structure among focal areas
Results based management (RBM)
• Shift from ‘approval culture’ to RBM
• Emphasis on cost effectiveness
• Indicator framework following OECD terminology, to be further developed
• Project log frames will support the RBM
• Transition in reporting (PIR) to RBM, may include GEF-3 projects.
New GEF Project Cycle
• Concept notes (PIFs) and PPG release• Work Program inclusion based on PIFs• Approval of fully prepared projects
• Reduce project preparation to max 2 years• Streamline and simplify required project
documentation• Shift the effort to implementation
Resource Allocation Framework
• Introduced in GEF-4 for BD and CC focal areas
• To cover all focal areas from GEF-5
• Review in 2008
Strategic Program 1:
Restoring and sustaining coastal and marine fish stocks and associated biological diversity
Examples:•Benguela Current •Danube Basin
Strategic Program 2
Reducing nutrient over-enrichment and oxygen depletion from land-based pollution of coastal waters in LMEs consistent with the GPA
Examples:• Danube Basin• Romania Agricultural Pollution
Control • Manila 3rd Sewerage Project
Strategic Program 3
Balancing overuse and conflicting uses of water resources in transboundary surface and groundwater basins
Examples:• Nile Basin Initiative
• Lake Victoria (LVEMP)
• Amazon Basin Management
Strategic Program 4
Reducing Persistent Toxic Substances and Adaptive Management of Waters with Melting Ice
Examples:• Melting Glaciers
– Himalaya/Ganges
• Pesticides in LMEs• Mercury in Goldmining
