2020 Program Evaluation of the Least Developed Countries Fund

https://www.thegef.org/council-meeting-documents/2020-program-evaluation-least-developed-countries-fund

Overview

The Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF) was established as one of the climate change adaptation financing mechanisms of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in response to guidance from the Seventh Conference of the Parties in Marrakech in 2001. The LDCF is mandated by the UNFCCC to, among other responsibilities, support the climate adaptation efforts of least developed countries (LDCs)—including preparing national adaptation programs of action (NAPAs), implementing NAPA priority projects in LDCs, preparing the national adaptation plan (NAP) process in eligible developing countries, and supporting other elements of the LDC work program. The main objective of this evaluation is to assess the progress the LDCF has made since the 2016 LDCF program evaluation and the extent to which the LDCF is in the process of achieving the objectives set out in the GEF Programming Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change for LDCF/SCCF (2018–2022).
