….Lessons learned

Page 13: GEF COORDINATION

Challenges in Sustaining and Institutionalizing

Coordination Mechanism

Page 14: GEF COORDINATION

Need to develop a plan of action that responds to the needs of the GEF program while addressing the constraints

Need to address knowledge barrier – insufficient sharing of experiences , limited familiarity to GEF policies and procedures

….Challenges

Page 15: GEF COORDINATION

Need to clarify institutional governance barrier – overlapping mandates

Need to resolve policy barrier - sectoral development framework and policies vis country poverty reduction strategies

…Challenges

Page 16: GEF COORDINATION

• Need to enhance M&E system an database of GEF projects

• Strong need to link existing monitoring mechanisms of IAs/EAs with the monitoring of GEF-OFP

• Need to review and fully implement the criteria for prioritization of projects for funding

…Challenges

Page 17: GEF COORDINATION

Future Plans & Directions

• Preparation of GEF-5 Philippines’ Road Map/Business Plan taking off on the Strategic Plan formulated

• Conduct of consultations with MEA focal Points for project identification and

prioritization

• Engage IAs/EAs with MEA Focal Points for GEF 5 Programming
