Managing for Results—Biodiversity

The biodiversity focal area has established a system to monitor portfolio performance in terms of coverage achieved and outcomes delivered. To aid in monitoring the portfolio, projects submit a “tracking tool” three times during the life of the project—by CEO endorsement or CEO approval for MSPs, at the project-midterm, and after the project final evaluation.

Information from the system is available for the first three fiscal years of GEF-3, and was included in the 2005 Portfolio Implementation Review (PIR). The system will remain in use during GEF's fourth replenishment period and will track coverage targets and outcomes as identified in the GEF-4 Programming Document.

The results show that, in GEF-3, the biodiversity focal area has already exceeded most of the coverage targets. The GEF-3 project cohort will be tracked throughout the course of individual project implementation to assess achievement of portfolio-level outcomes.
