  5. Objectives of Evaluation in the GEF • 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

  6. What is the GEF M&E Policy? • Document that contains minimum requirements for monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for GEF-funded activities covering project design, application of M&E at the project level, and project evaluation. • This policy aims to explain the concept, role, and use of monitoring and evaluation within the GEF and define the institutional framework and define responsibilities. • New M&E Policy: Approved by GEF Council in November 2010

  7. Monitoring <-> Evaluation • Monitoring Evaluation

  8. M&E and RBM • Monitoring is one of the main instruments of Results Based Management • Evaluation is a “reality check” on monitoring and RBM • Monitoring & RBM tell whether the organization is “on track” • Evaluation could tell whether the organization is “on the right track”

  9. M&E Key Responsibilities in GEF

  10. Evaluation Criteria • Relevance. The extent to which the activity is suited to local and national development priorities and organizational policies, including changes over time • Effectiveness. The extent to which an objective has been achieved or how likely it is to be achieved • Efficiency.The extent to which results have been delivered with the least costlyresources possible; also called cost effectiveness or efficacy • Results / Impacts. The positive and negative, and foreseen and unforeseen, changes to and effects produced by a development intervention • Sustainability. The likely ability of an intervention to continue to deliver benefits for an extended period of time after completion. Projects need to be environmentally as well as financially and socially sustainable
