The GCF Board mandated the IEU to develop evaluation standards in collaboration with the GCF Secretariat in order to inform the Fund’s overall results, successes and unintended consequences in a credible and measurable manner. By applying these standards, the Fund intends for a more consistent and harmonized approach across all three types of evaluations, namely, IEU-led, Secretariat-led and AE-led, as recognized by the GCF Evaluation Policy. As a result, 15 GCF Evaluation Standards were developed with the objective to support and enable the production of state-of-the- art evaluations with high-quality evidence and recommendations.
