Background Global Environment Facility

• Finance projects in developing countries
• Generate global environmental benefits

• Ozone Depletion,
• Land degradation,
• International Waters,
• Persistent Organic Pollutants

• Climate Change
• Biodiversity

4
Proposed Resource Allocation Framework

• Increase Transparency Allocations
• Methodology Yes
• Data and Indicators
• Target Countries with better Performance
• Increase expected returns

5
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

6
Criteria for indicators

• Technically relevant for objectives
• Comprehensive coverage of countries
• Low development and implementation cost
• Simple to understand.
• 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
