• Background
• GEF
• Proposed Resource allocation Framework
• Indicators and Scores
• Lessons Learned
Background:
Global Environment Facility
•
Finance projects in developing countries
•
Generate global environmental benefits
 Climate Change
 Biodiversity
 Ozone Depletion,
 Land degradation,
 International Waters,
 Persistent Organic Pollutants
Proposed Resource Allocation Framework
• Increase Transparency Allocations
 Methodology Yes
Data and Indicators
• Target Countries with better Performance
Increase expected returns
GEF Allocations under the RAF
•
•
Develop Country Scores based on


Country Performance
Country Potential Benefits for each focal area
Allocations proportional to scores


pool resources for low scoring countries
ceilings and floors for equity
Criteria for indicators
1.
Technically relevant for objectives
2.
Comprehensive coverage of countries
3.
Low development and implementation cost
4.
Simple to understand.
5.
Publicly Available.

Biodiversity Benefits
• New GEF developed Indicator (GBI BIO)
 Developed from best available data
in consultation with experts
with support from World Bank
• National Index aggregated from subnational data.
• Characterizes benefits potential at subnational
ecoregion level

Lessons Learned
•
Difficult to find good indicators
•
•
•
Environmental Stress often used to measure
performance
Few direct measures of Policy and Institution
available (exception CPIA at the World Bank)
Public Disclosure of indicators/methodology
•
•
Increases buy in by countries
Increases difficulty of developing or finding
indicators
