The GEF operates across sectors, giving it a unique role in advancing policy coherence that curbs environmental harm and redirects financing to sustainable goals.
Initial analysis indicates that the GEF has most frequently supported policy coherence through project- and program-level institutional strengthening and coordination mechanisms, while systematic tracking of policy coherence outcomes across the portfolio has remained limited. This evaluation will examine how the GEF has supported policy-related interventions over time, and how these efforts have evolved as the GEF places greater emphasis on integrated approaches across environmental sectors.
Methodology
The evaluation will cover 58 projects across multiple focal areas, drawing on portfolio analysis, document review, and case studies in Brazil, India, and Kenya.
