Revision of focal area strategies
• Focus on priority issues
• Programmatic approach
• Measurable results
• Integration across focal areas
• Consistency with the replenishment of GEF4

FA strategies – revision process
• Advisory groups (TAGs and SAG) with external experts, STAP, Conventions
• Drafts and process papers posted on the GEF website
• Comments received from GEF partners and also web-posted

Revised focal area strategies
• Strategic objectives (long-term) with expected impacts
• Strategic programs for GEF-4 with expected outcomes
• Measurable indicators for impacts and outcomes
• Harmonized structure among focal areas

Results based management (RBM)
• Shift from ‘approval culture’ to RBM
• Emphasis on cost effectiveness
• Indicator framework following OECD terminology, to be further developed
• Project log frames will support the RBM
• Transition in reporting (PIR) to RBM, may include GEF-3 projects.

New GEF Project Cycle
• Concept notes (PIFs) and PPG release• Work Program inclusion based on PIFs• Approval of fully prepared projects
• Reduce project preparation to max 2 years• Streamline and simplify required project
documentation• Shift the effort to implementation

Resource Allocation Framework
• Introduced in GEF-4 for BD and CC focal areas
• To cover all focal areas from GEF-5
• Review in 2008

Examples:• Danube Basin• Romania Agricultural Pollution
Control • Manila 3rd Sewerage Project
