II. �volution des politiques et des processus Dispositif d�allocation des ressources Cycle des projets Strat�gies concernant les domaines d�intervention Programme de microfinancements Avantages comparatifs des entit�s d�ex�cution du FEM New policies in place to implement vision � evolving process � require Council approval for some and others require further researchNew policies in place to implement vision � evolving process � require Council approval for some and others require further research

11. Dispositif d�allocation des ressources Nouveau syst�me visant � allouer les ressources limit�es du FEM � tous les pays qui peuvent y pr�tendre Allocations fond�es sur : Les avantages pour l�environnement mondial Les performances au niveau du pays The RAF does not apply to other focal areas. Multi focal area projects with a biodiversity or climate change component will need to be finance the biodiversity/climate change portion out of RAF allocations. Participating countries need to share the financing of regional projects. Global Environmental Priorities are measured by a Global Benefits Index. For climate change, two factors determine GBI -- baseline emissions and improvements in carbon intensity over time. For Biodiversity, the scale, diversity, and threats to species and the diversity of ecosystems are the primary determinants of GBI. Country Level Performance is measured through an assessment of policies and institutions that lead to an enabling environmental for project success as well as the actual success rates in the implementation of environmental projects.

13. Allocations en vertu du DAR Les pays se voient octroyer des allocations individuelles dans les domaines de la biodiversit� et des changements climatiques OU Ils ont acc�s aux ressources collectives dans les domaines de la biodiversit� et des changements climatiques Changes in policies and institutions are the quickest way to increase allocations. Changes in policies and institutions are the quickest way to increase allocations.

14. Les allocations initiales couvrent les 4 ans du FEM-4 Seuls 50 % de l�allocation peuvent �tre utilis�s pour des projets approuv�s durant les 2 premi�res ann�es du FEM-4 Les allocations feront l�objet d�ajustements au bout de 2 ans, pour tenir compte d��ventuels changements des performances du pays ou des avantages pour l�environnement mondial Changes in policies and institutions are the quickest way to increase allocations. Changes in policies and institutions are the quickest way to increase allocations.

15. Allocations collectives Les pays ont acc�s collectivement � l�allocation attribu�e au groupe de pays auquel ils appartiennent Allocations collectives moyennes pour le FEM-4 Biodiversit� : 1,6 million $ Changements climatiques : 1,3 million $ Honduras is in the group for (climate change) under the RAF in GEF4. Countries in the group do not have individual allocations; instead all of the countries in the group can collectively access the resources allocated to the group in the respective focal area. In biodiversity, 93 countries are in the group with a group allocation of approximately $150 million (exactly $146.8 million). This implies that on average all countries in the group can access $1.6 million. Similarly, in climate change 115 countries are in the group with a group allocation of approximately $150 million (exactly $148.6 million). This implies that on average all countries in the group can access $1.3 million. Countries may have access to more than the average amounts, only if some of the other countries in the group do not propose projects that meet the priorities and criteria of the GEF. But in no case can a country exceed the upper limit for countries which is ($3.1 million in climate change / $3.5 million in biodiversity). Clearly, if each country in the group proposed projects right up to these upper limits, we would not have sufficient resources to meet the demand. To be fair to all countries, especially those with weaker capacity while at the same time to provide predictability to countries, we have developed a multi-faced approach to programming the resources for the group. Given the significant demand on these limited resources, we are limiting the use of these resources to enabling activities and projects in the focal area.[1] Specifically, group allocations cannot be used to channel additional resources to the Small Grants Program or the Cross-cutting Capacity Building Programs. Resources for these programs for countries in the group are available from the core funds of the respective programs. Similarly, resources for climate change adaptation projects are also available from the other windows (SPA, LDCCF, SCCF) and so cannot be funded through the RAF allocations. Next, projects of up to $1 million in each focal area from a country will be reviewed expeditiously in a national context. Larger projects up to the upper limit or multiple projects accounting for more than $1 million would only be reviewed in a global context against all other projects proposed by all countries in the group and would be limited by the resources available to the group. Given these constraints, it is likely that some of the projects that meet all of the technical criteria for GEF funding may not get funded. As a result, it is our recommendation that countries begin by proposing a project of up to $1 million in a focal area. [1] Multifocal area projects could be funded under a cost sharing arrangement across the focal areas covered.Honduras is in the group for (climate change) under the RAF in GEF4.

16. Allocations collectives(suite) Pour assurer l��quit� et la pr�visibilit� pour tous les pays du groupe, les dispositions suivantes sont pr�vues : Une proposition de projet plafonn�e � 1 million de dollars sera examin�e au titre des proc�dures acc�l�r�es dans le contexte national Les propositions suppl�mentaires seront examin�es en comparaison avec les projets de tous les pays du groupe Les ressources collectives du groupe ne peuvent pas �tre allou�es au Programme de microfinancements ni aux activit�s multisectorielles de renforcement des capacit�s Honduras is in the group for (climate change) under the RAF in GEF4.

19. Gestion de la fili�re des projets en pr�paration (suite) � court terme : fili�re 2007 �laboration et approbation des projets prioritaires identifi�s pour 2007 Projets � examiner en vue de leur inscription dans la fili�re apr�s juin 2008

20. Strat�gies des domaines d�intervention Les strat�gies des DI pr�sent�es au Conseil en d�cembre 2006 sont consid�r�es comme provisoires ou comme des versions de travail Sur la base des orientations du Conseil, le DG r�visera les strat�gies en veillant � ce qu�un processus consultatif ait �t� �tabli : 5 Groupes consultatifs techniques (GTT) � un pour chaque domaine d�intervention, les POP et l�ozone �tant combin�s Un Groupe consultatif de coordination des strat�gies (GCC) But de la r�vision des strat�gies des DI : les focaliser et harmoniser/ int�grer les approches des diff�rents DI Les strat�gies r�vis�es seront pr�sent�es au Conseil en juin 2007 en vue de leur examen et de leur approbation.

21. Strat�gies des domaines d�intervention (suite) Les strat�gies provisoires ont fourni la base de l�inscription dans la fili�re pour 2007; les strat�gies r�vis�es fourniront la base dans l�inscription dans la fili�re pour les ann�es 2008 � 2010 Les points focaux peuvent suivre les progr�s en cours en consultant le site Internet du Secr�tariat du FEM � : http://thegef.org/Operational_Policies/Operational_Strategy/GEFFocalAreaStrategies.html Les points focaux peuvent s�ils le souhaitent faire conna�tre leurs r�actions sur les travaux en cours par l�entremise du membre du Conseil repr�sentant leur groupe de pays

22. Cycle des projets propos� Objectifs du nouveau cycle des projets propos� : Meilleure programmation strat�gique des ressources du FEM en amont; R�duction du temps de pr�paration d�une moyenne de 66 mois � 22 mois; Simplification du processus g�n�ral et transparence du processus d�cisionnel.

23. Cycle des projets propos� Le passage d�une phase � la suivante s�op�rera par deux points d�examen distincts : Examen de l�id�e de projet et inscription au programme de travail : emploi - d�une fiche d�identification de projet (FIP) pour l�examen de l�id�e de projet et son approbation par le DG - d�un document de programme de travail d�crivant la coh�rence g�n�rale de la programmation des projets dans la fili�re et portant tout particuli�rement sur les questions politiques et strat�giques qui seront pr�sent�es par le DG au Conseil; Approbation du DG : Soumission des projets enti�rement pr�par�s au DG pour approbation avant leur approbation par les entit�s d�ex�cution.

24. Cycle des projets propos� Les entit�s d�ex�cution du FEM interviennent lors de trois grandes phases : Pr�paration des projets Approbation des projets et supervision de leur mise en �uvre Cl�ture et �valuation des projets

25. Gestion de la fili�re du FEM Tous les projets dont la FIP a �t� approuv�e sont inscrits dans la fili�re; Les propositions de projets inscrits dans la fili�re font l�objet d�un traitement selon des jalons temporels fix�s; Les projets pour lesquels les jalons ne sont pas respect�s peuvent �tre annul�s conform�ment aux politiques approuv�es par le Conseil.

26. Crit�res d�examen des projets Crit�res pour la FIP et l�inscription au programme de travail : Admissibilit� du pays; Approbation du point focal op�rationnel du FEM; Conformit� aux objectifs strat�giques/programmes du FEM; Avantage comparatif de l�entit� du FEM soumettant la FIP; Ad�quation du montant de la subvention du FEM au regard des ressources disponibles dans le domaine d�intervention, des objectifs strat�giques, du programme strat�gique et des allocations au titre du DAR; Co�t estimatif du projet; Jalons pour le traitement du projet.

27. Crit�res d�examen des projets Crit�res pour l�approbation du DG : Tableau des co�ts d�finitifs pour les composantes du projet, la gestion du projet, les consultants et le cofinancement; Dispositions de la politique de suivi-�valuation du FEM; Explication de tout changement relatif aux avantages escompt�s pour l�environnement mondial, � la coh�rence avec la strat�gie du DI, au montant de la subvention du FEM et au cofinancement apr�s approbation de la FIP; Rapport sur l�avancement de la pr�paration du projet entreprise gr�ce � la subvention de pr�paration.

28. Approbation requise lors de la soumission de la FIP en vue de son approbation par le DG Les projets relevant des domaines de la biodiversit� et des changements climatiques doivent se conformer aux r�gles d�approbation du DAR (toutes les ressources demand�es devant �tre pr�lev�es sur les allocations du pays ou les allocations collectives).

29. Fiche d�identification de projet (FIP) La soumission des FIP en vue de leur approbation par le DG se fait sur une base mensuelle. La FIP contient les informations essentielles sur l�id�e du projet et les estimations optimales sur le co�t du projet.

30. Subvention de pr�paration de projet (SPP) Disponible seulement : Pour les FIP approuv�es Apr�s r�ception de la lettre d�approbation du point focal Montant fond� sur les co�ts estim�s de pr�paration du projet et d�duit du co�t total du projet Les SPP sont approuv�es selon un calendrier ouvert

31. Approbation du pays (par le PFO national) Approbation requise : Lors de la soumission de la FIP pour approbation par le DG et inscription au programme de travail. Les FIP pour les projets de biodiversit� et de changements climatiques doivent �tre conformes aux accords conclus avec le pays lors des dialogues directs avec le Secr�tariat du FEM. Funding could be first requested from the GEF through application of Project Preparation Grant (PPG). This is done by the agencies on behalf of the government. OFP endorsement is required the first time a project requests funding from GEFSEC. First time funding could be at preparation stage, in which case, a PPG will be applied. OFP will need to endorse the project when this PPG is requested. For some projects, the country may not need PPG to fund its preparation. Rather, they may use their own money or use co-financing money to fund the project preparation activities. In this case, the first time that the project will request GEF funding will be at work program inclusion. If this is the case, OFP�s endorsement will be needed when the project is submitted to GEFSEC for work program inclusion. Second bullet point in slide #23 is not a separate endorsement. If a country endorsed a project under RAF, when the project later applies for a PPG, it does not need a second endorsement as the endorsement that the country provided under RAF will be sufficed as endorsement when requesting funding for project preparation or GEF work program inclusion, unless of course a country explicitly requested for a second endorsement. But this will not be a GEF requirement, but a country requirement. I would therefore revise this slide�s bullet point #2 to: Projects in the biodiversity and climate change focal areas should follow the endorsement procedures under RAF.
