The GEF Secretariat
GEF’s Operation:
Based in Washington, D.C, the GEF Secretariat reports directly to the GEF
Council and Assembly, ensuring that their decisions are translated into
effective actions.
GEF’s Mission:
A mechanism for international cooperation for the purpose of providing new, and additional, grant and
concessional funding to meet the agreed incremental costs of measures to achieve agreed global
environmental benefits
The GEF is the Financial Mechanism of the UNFCCC, CBD, Stockholm Convention, UNCCD and the
Nagoya Protocol. The GEF also provides assistance to International Waters and the Montreal
Protocol. The GEF provides Secretariat Services to the Adaptation Fund Board.

Key Points in GEF’s Project Development
Full-sized projects (> $1 Million)
Council approval of
Work Program*
CEO endorsement of
project
GEF Agency approval of project**
GEF Agency completion of
project & implementation
start***
21
* Work Program consists of PIFs cleared by the CEO** GEF Agency approval of project signifies start of project implementation*** Project completion follows terminal evaluation and financial closure
22
Single –step Approval
Agency submits final MSP project document for CEO approval*
GEF Agency completes implementation followed by evaluation and financial
closure
Two-step Approval (if PPG is needed)
Agency submits PIF/PPG for CEO approval
Agency submits final MSP project document for CEO approval*
GEF Agency completes implementation followed by
terminal evaluation and financial closure
* Agency approves MSP after CEO approval of the project and starts implementation.
Medium-sized projects (< = $1 Million)
Country endorsement(by Country National Operational Focal Point)
23
All Project Identification Forms should
have endorsement of Operational
Focal Point when submitted to GEF
for clearance (in case of full-sized
projects) or approval (in case of
medium-sized projects requesting
project preparation grants)
Review criteria for FSP/MSP
24
• Country eligibility and ownership;
• Agency’s Comparative advantage;
• Resource availability;
• Project consistency;
• Project design;
• Baseline of the project;
• Incremental costs of the project;
• Project co-financing;
• Monitoring and evaluation; and
• Agency’s responses to comments and reviews.
25
Project baseline Project Baseline: Activities that would
happen without GEF’s investment
The costs of the baseline activities: to be covered by normal development expenditures such as government budgets, bilateral aid, the private sector, NGO resources, and loans from international financial institutions, including IDA and the Multilateral Fund.
The impacts of the baseline activities (GHG emissions and global environmental benefits): to be estimated through historical projects and/or trend analyses
26
Alternative project and incremental costsAlternative Project: Activities that
would happen with GEF’s investment
Incremental costs of the alternative project may include
– technology licensing;– procurement of equipment and
engineering services;– acquisition of additional natural resources,
such as land for wind farm development;– training for professionals to manage new
technologies, etc.
Net incremental costs can be negative

GHG Emission Mitigation 1.224 (million tCO2e)
Technology Transfer 17 CFC-based chillers replaced
New Chiller Installations Per Year 25% in 2005; by 2010 two-thirds of remaining inefficient chillers were replaced
Institutional Framework and Governance Impacts
-Achieved target energy savings and ozone depleting substances reduction- Demonstrated successful replacement of CFC chillers with non-CFC chillers for further replication
1998-2005

GEF Financing 18.2 ($mn)
Co-financing Total 40.0 ($mn)
Ratio of Co-financing 1: 2.2
Expected GHG Emission Mitigation
15.6 (million tCO2e)
Expected Institutional Framework and Governance Impacts
-Introduce more energy efficient designs through technology transfer in the refrigerator and air conditioning manufacturing sectors-Building capacity for greater market share of energy efficient technology through greater consumer awareness and demand-Meet 2015 Montreal Protocol target by reducing electricity consumption and GHG emissions from the commercial and industrial sectors
Case study 3: Promotion of HCFC-free Energy Efficient Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Systems in the Russian Federation
CEO Endorsed 2010

Conclusions (1)
GEF’s achievements in climate change– Financial mechanism for the UNFCCC– US$3 billion, over 850 projects, 150 countries– Leveraged US$18 billion co-financing in climate change
projects– Mitigated about 2.5 billion tons of CO2
GEF’s achievements in ODS and POPs– Invested US$ 613 million – Leveraged US$ 875 co-financing– Mitigated 1.155 GT of CO2 Equivalent
36
Conclusions (2)
Looking forward Climate Change GEF5 (2010-2014)– US$1.36 billion in climate change– Six strategic objectives– Greater positive impacts on global environment benefits– Baseline and co-financing are important in project development
Looking forward ODS and POPs GEF5 (2010-2014)– Three strategic objectives– More funds available– Developing projects that meet strategic objectives of CC, ODS,
and POPs has high priority in the GEF. Linkages can be made with ODS and Hazardous Waste Management and ODS and Energy Efficiency.
