Why integrated approaches?
• address key drivers of environmental degradation at
global or regional scales;
• tackle most urgent issues that may become too costly to
reverse;
• enhance synergies across focal areas;
• complement country programming with trans-boundary,
regional and global action;
+ stronger partnerships and financial leverage
Three priorities
• Taking deforestation out of commodity supply chains;
• Sustainable cities; and
• Fostering sustainability and resilience for food security
in Sub-Saharan Africa
$160M set-aside, of which $50M and $45M of the food
security and sustainable cities programs, respectively, to be
used as incentive for countries to invest their STAR
allocations at a 1:1 ratio
Taking deforestation out of
commodity supply chains (1/2)
• GEF funding: $45M; co-financing: $443M
• palm oil, soy and beef are priority
commodities
• key countries in South East Asia, Latin America
and West Africa from the production
perspective
• domestic, international and global
multinational buyers from the demand
perspective
Taking deforestation out of
commodity supply chains (2/2)
Program goal: reduce the global impacts of agriculture
commodities on deforestation, climate change and
biodiversity by meeting the growing supply and demand of
commodities through means that do not lead to
deforestation
Adaptive management and learning
Support to
production
Generating
responsible demand
Enabling
transactions
Sustainable cities (1/2)
• 11 countries; 23 cities
• partnership with city network institutions and 8 GEF Agencies, including
World Bank (lead), ADB, AfDB, DBSA, IADB, UNDP, UNEP, UNIDO
• GEF funding: $150M; co-financing: $1.48bn
Sustainable cities (2/2)
Program objective: promote an approach to urban

balance economic, social, and environmental resource
considerations
