Evaluation of the GEF Support to Biosafety. 2006. (1.2 MB)

At its November 2004 meeting, the GEF Council requested the GEF Office for Monitoring and Evaluation (since renamed the GEF Evaluation Office) to undertake an evaluation of the biosafety activities financed under the GEF Initial Strategy. The final Terms of Reference for the evaluation were approved by the Director of the GEF Evaluation Office on April 20, 2005. Four key questions were identified in the evaluation’s Terms of Reference: Is GEF support consistent with the Cartagena Protocol conducted in a way that takes into account the needs of the recipient countries, and is it of sufficient professional quality? Is GEF support to capacity development efforts, including stakeholder involvement and regional collaboration, relevant and effective? What progress has been made in countries on building the requisite capacities toward their ratification and implementation of the Cartagena Protocol? Are the modalities and approaches of GEF support effective and efficient compared to similar projects?
