These Evaluation Operational Procedures and Guidelines (‘Guidelines’) aim to promote a shared understanding of the requirements of the GCF Evaluation Policy as they relate to the delivery of interim evaluations and final evaluations of funded activities. These Guidelines map out what is required and recommended at each stage of an Accredited Entities-led evaluation from planning right through to submission to the GCF to deliver a robust evaluation. They offer a guide for Accredited Entities and other stakeholders when delivering on their evaluation-related roles and responsibilities at various stages of the GCF’s Programming Cycle. The Accredited Entities are strongly encouraged to use these Guidelines when evaluating all funded activities including public sector and private sector adaptation, mitigation, or cross-cutting projects/ programmes that are funded by GCF.
