What is the GEF M&E Policy? Document that contains minimum requirements for
monitoring and evaluation (M&E) for GEF-funded activities covering project design, application of M&E at the project level, and project evaluation.
This policy aims to explain the concept, role, and use of monitoring and evaluation within the GEF and define the institutional framework and define responsibilities.
New M&E Policy: Approved by GEF Council in November 2010

Monitoring Evaluation

M&E and RBM
Monitoring is one of the main instruments of Results Based Management
Evaluation is a “reality check” on monitoring and RBM
Monitoring & RBM tell whether the organization is “on track”
Evaluation could tell whether the organization is “on the right track”
