The multi-year Learning-Oriented Real-Time Impact Assessment (LORTA) programme keeps track of the impact of GCF investments. Its goal is to assist GCF projects measure their impact in lowering greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience to climate change, and if so, by how much. LORTA’s assistance includes, among other things, building and clarifying theories of change, co-building real-time and longer term measurement systems and helping projects use quantitative and qualitative approaches to analysing data.

This 4-page brief provides an overview of the LORTA portfolio as of January 2022 and captures six lessons that have emerged since the LORTA programme began implementation in 2018.
