GCF/B.21/34

The document details the IEU's strategic aims to strengthen its staffing, deliver high-quality evaluations, build capacity for evaluation-based learning, and engage with international best practices in climate change evaluation.

• The IEU's overall objectives include informing Board decision-making, conducting independent evaluations of the Fund's performance to assess results and efficiency, and providing reports to the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (COP) for periodic reviews of the financial mechanism.
• For the 2017-2020 period, the IEU aims to deliver at least four evaluations annually, covering strategic performance, portfolio, thematic, country, programmatic, and project levels.
• The IEU is implementing a Learning-Oriented Real-Time Impact Assessment (LORTA) window to support real-time learning; specifically, in 2019, it will support six additional projects to help them rigorously measure impacts and changes resulting from GCF investments.
• The IEU's capacity-strengthening program targets the GCF Board, Secretariat, Accredited Entities (AEs), Nationally Designated Agencies (NDAs), and other stakeholders to improve data quality and evaluative evidence.
• The IEU intends to establish itself as a global leader in climate science and evaluation methods by commissioning methods papers, supporting knowledge hubs, and utilizing complexity science and new measurement methods.
• Administrative modifications to the work plan include producing an "evaluation policy for the Fund" (rather than an "independent evaluation policy") and rescheduling the delivery of a capacity building and learning plan to B.23.
