System of Transparent Allocation of Resources - STAR GEF Expanded Constituency Workshop February 15-17, 2011 Hotel Memling, Kinshasa, DR Congo Introduction • Issues from GEF4 to GEF5 • GEF Council requested reforms in resource • • allocation framework (RAF) Recipient countries requested new rules GEF evaluation office provided useful comments • This presentation demonstrates how the GEF meets these new challenges Outlines • What is new from GEF-4 RAF to GEF-5 STAR • Impacts of the new things • Overall allocations of the GEF-5 • Future development of the STAR What is new in the GEF-5 STAR? New allocation area and countries GEF-4 RAF • Areas: Biodiversity and Climate Change • Country categories: • Individual and group • LDC and SIDS in group GEF-5 STAR • Areas: Biodiversity, Climate Change, and Land Degradation • Country categories: • All the countries are equal • No group countries A new major component GEF-4 RAF • GEF Benefits Index GEF-5 STAR • GEF Benefits Index (GBI) (GBI) • GEF Performance Index • GEF Performance Index (GPI) (GPI) Social Economic Development Index measured as GDP index (GDPI) New rules GEF-4 RAF • Caps: • 10% for BD and 15% for CC • Floors: • No • Others: • 50% rule, • Set-aside 10% GEF-5 STAR • Caps: • 10% for BD and LD, 11% for CC • Floors: • $2 mn in CC, $1.5 mn in BD, and $0.5 in LD • Others: • Flexibility for small countries (90% rule), • More weight (25%) for marine scores in GBIBD, • 5% of CC scores are from countries’ forested areas • Set-aside 20% Programs not yet in the STAR • International Waters • Persistent Organic Pollutants and Sound Chemicals • • • • • Management Corporate budgets Country Support Programme Regional and global projects/programs Small Grants Programme Earth Fund (private sector) Impact of GDPI ($4.25 bn scenario) US$/ cap/yr 15.0% 20000 Difference over baseline 12.1% 17861 GDP/cap (US$) in 2008 10.0% 16000 14000 7.4% 5.0% 12000 10112 0.0% DR Congo United Republic of Tanzania 0.0% Morocco 10000 8000 Chile Trinidad and Tobago -4.7% -5.0% 2764 -10.0% 18000 180 482 6000 4000 -7.0% 2000 0 Key message: GDPI cuts up to 7% from the rich and adds up to 12% to the poor. $2,760 GDP per capita is the threshold. Impact of “no group” allocation GEF-4 RAF GEF-5 STAR • Individual countries in CC : • Individual countries in CC : • 50 • Individual countries in BD: • 58 • Individual countries in LD: • None • 144 • Individual countries in BD: • 144 • Individual countries in LD: • 143 Distribution of GEF-5 Resources $ Million 451 500 369 400 300 LD BD 200 CC 100 CC BD 0 ECA LD AFR LAC Asia GEF-5 Resources to LDC and SIDS $ Million 322 350 300 250 112 200 150 92 40 100 104 50 7 LDC ($442 mn) 0 AFR SIDS ($235 mn) Asia LAC Overlap: AFR 23.9, Asia 35.2, LAC 7.3, Total 66.5 Initial GEF-5 STAR Allocations GEF-4 - RAF GEF-5 $3.1B Replenishment Initial allocation Country $4.25Bn STAR Envelopes (M$) CC BD CC BD LD Total Flexible Burundi Group Group 2 1.5 1.07 4.57 yes Cameroon Group 11.9 2.97 10.31 1.66 14.95 No Central African Republic Group Group 2 1.68 1.75 5.44 yes Congo Group Group 2 3.28 1.04 6.32 yes Democratic Republic of the Congo Group 10.4 8.92 13.81 0.67 23.41 No Equatorial Guinea Group Group 2 1.5 0.5 4 yes Gabon Group Group 2 3.4 0.91 6.31 yes São Tomé and Principe Group Group 2 2.77 2.73 7.5 No Conclusions The GEF used new methodology and updated indicators to meet the challenges of donors and recipient countries The new allocation system (STAR) is 1. more complete than the GEF-4 RAF 2. increasing the shares of allocation to the least developed countries 3. providing wider and more even allocations 4. ensuring small countries to have enough funds to implement at least one project in GEF-5 period 5. more transparent in resource allocations Next steps • Implement the STAR • Develop new GBI for persistent organic pollution and international waters • Improve GBIBD, GBICC and GBILD • Update and improve GPI and GDPI Thank you!
