Resource Allocation at the Global Environment Facility Kiran Pandey Global Environment Facility Secretariat kpandey@theGEF.org
Background • GEF • Proposed Resource allocation Framework • Indicators and Scores • Lessons Learned
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
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 • Technically relevant for objectives • Comprehensive coverage of countries • Low development and implementation cost • Simple to understand. • Publicly Available.
GEF Performance Index (GPI) GEF Performance Index (GPI) Broad Framework Indicator (CPIA) Environmental Sector Policy (CPIA) Portfolio Performance (PPI) = + +
Climate Change Benefits GEF Benefits Index CC Baseline GHG Emissions Carbon Intensity Adjustment Factor = X 1990 GHG Emissions / 1990 GDP = Carbon Intensity Adjustment Factor 2000 GHG Emissions / 2000 GDP
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
