IEU B.38 Side Event: Well begun or half done? A summary of the evaluability of GCF funding proposals

The IEU will organize the side event "Well begun or half done? A summary of the evaluability of GCF funding proposals
The event will take place at the thirty-eighth meeting of the GCF Board (B.38), taking place in person from 4 - 7 March in Kigali, Rwanda. 

Date & Time: Tuesday 5 March | Lunch time (Kigali)
Format: In person
Location: AD10

Description:
This event will share findings from the IEU Learning Paper "The evaluability of GCF’s funding proposals", which asks the question: to what extent the design of GCF-supported projects enables them to credibly report on their impacts, efficiency, and effectiveness in an evidence-based and robust way?

The IEU poses this question for two reasons. First, the GCF aims to support a paradigm shift towards low emission and climate-resilient development pathways. Thus, it is critical to verify if the GCF’s investment portfolio is catalysing a shift and whether the shift is attributable to the GCF’s intervention. Achieving this requires projects to credibly measure if they achieve their stated goals. Second, by evaluating how its projects drive paradigm shifts, the GCF gains key insights to shape the future of global climate action.

Speakers: Andreas Reuman, Head, GCF-IEU; Genta Konci, Evaluation Specialist, GCF-IEU
