Our independent evaluations foster accountability and learning in global environmental initiatives
A mixed-method approach for comprehensive evaluations
At IEO, we use a holistic approach to our evaluations. This allows us to gather, analyze, and connect data to understand what works, what doesn’t, and the factors that influence outcomes across different scales and contexts.
-
We use systems-based tools to analyze interactions, feedback loops, and pathways of change. This helps us understand how GEF interventions influence transformation at scale.
-
We apply satellite imagery, mapping, and spatial analytics to track environmental change. These methods improve targeting, monitoring, and verification of project results.
-
We conduct case studies, document reviews, and participatory methods to capture diverse perspectives. These approaches reveal context, drivers of change, and lessons for learning.
-
We use advanced statistical and data-driven approaches like portfolio, sentiment, and regression analyses. These methods provide robust evidence to assess outcomes and performance.
