Results

Measuring and reporting environmental results is vital to ensure effective and efficient implementation of GEF investments.

The GEF has developed tools, practices and systems to measure the effectiveness of the projects and programs it finances. It assesses how well it supports countries in achieving global environmental benefits, learns lessons and adapts implementation.

The GEF uses quantitative and qualitative ways to capture the impact of its investments. The GEF-8 Results Measurement Framework underpins the measurement of results across its diverse portfolio of projects and programs.

Corporate Scorecards

The Corporate Scorecard is the key report on progress made within GEF replenishment periods. It serves as the primary tool for monitoring and measuring the GEF’s performance and the achievement of its strategic priorities. Since June 2016, it provides evidence to Council members twice a year on progress made and facilitates key management decisions.

Monitoring Report

The GEF’s Monitoring Report (formerly Annual Performance Monitoring Review) provides a summary of the progress and performance of the active portfolio of projects. It reflects the GEF’s approach to portfolio-level monitoring and reporting on results, performance and financing. The document has a strategic orientation, highlighting data and trends on performance areas of interest to the Council.
