Integration for greater impact

Eighth Comprehensive evaluation of the GEF

GEF institutional framework

11. GEF results and learning systems

The GEF relies on robust systems for results-based management (RBM) and knowledge management to guide effective programming, track performance, and promote learning across its portfolio. RBM provides a framework for setting clear objectives, measuring progress through standardized indicators, and enabling evidence-based decision-making. Complementing this, the GEF’s knowledge management system is designed to capture, curate, and share knowledge generated from GEF-funded interventions—facilitating adaptive management, innovation, and broader uptake of successful practices. Together, these systems underpin the GEF’s commitment to accountability, continuous improvement, and transformational impact.
