The GEF Evaluation Office and the GEF Implementing Agencies conduct different studies and evaluations that assess topics of concern to all GEF operational programs. These studies provide a basis for decision-making and lesson learning on a specific theme; for a specific focal area (climate change, biodiversity, international water) or operational program, or for cross-cutting issues that apply across focal areas and projects.

IW Evaluations and Studies from GEF Evaluation Office:

Categories	Description
Monitoring and Evaluation Indicators for GEF International Waters Projects - Working Paper 10	The IWTF developed a series of three types of indicators based on their identification in GEF Operational Programs (GEF, 1997) as important elements of OP8 and OP9 projects. The three types of indicators are Process indicators, Stress reduction indicators, Environmental status indicators. This paper describes the background and philosophy for the three types of indicators, summarizes the framework, and includes several examples from GEF international waters projects.
IW Project Evaluations and Reviews	Reports at project-level, including final evaluations by Implementing Agencies and Executing Agencies.
Overall Performance Studies (OPS) of the GEF	A periodic and independent study that assesses how the GEF has achieved its objectives and policies.
Program Evaluations and Thematic Studies	Reports from evaluations covering programs, focal areas, themes, and cross-cutting issues.
Annual Performance Report (APR)	An annual report to the GEF Council on results of completed projects, and on M&E quality.
M&E Council Documents	The GEF Council functions as an independent board of directors, with primary responsibility for developing, adopting, and evaluating GEF programs. Council members representing 32 constituencies (16 from developing countries, 14 from developed countries, and two from countries with transitional economies) meet twice each year for three days and also conduct business by mail. All decisions are by consensus and recorded in the Joint Summary of the Chairs.
