Every four years, an independent evaluation of the Global Environment Facility informs its replenishment and shapes its future direction. OPS8 — the Eighth Overall Performance Study — is the latest such assessment.
This video presents findings from OPS8, drawing on methodologies that include geospatial analysis, text analytics, and AI alongside quantitative and qualitative approaches.
It examines how integrated programming is reshaping the GEF's work, what the evidence shows on financing, efficiency, and engagement with marginalized groups, and where results are strong and where further effort is needed.
It also outlines the priorities emerging for GEF-9, from sustainability planning and private sector engagement to stronger learning systems and greater innovation.
This video is part of the EvalVision series and was presented during the Eighth GEF Assembly.
