Overview
Social and environmental performance and co-benefits are key to the mandate of the GCF and its environmental and social policy (ESP).
The evaluation had three main objectives:
1. To assess the extent to which the GCF was effectively preventing, mitigating and managing potential adverse environmental and social impacts of GCF-funded projects.
2. To assess the extent to which the GCF was effectively promoting environmental, social, economic and development co-benefits, and taking a gender-sensitive approach, by replacing the traditional “do no harm” approach with a “do good” approach.
3. To assess how well the GCF is monitoring and reporting on environmental and social impacts and co-benefits.
