Overview
The Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF) was established in November 2001 under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) to finance activities, programs, and measures relating to climate change that complement those funded by resources allocated to the Global Environment Facility (GEF) climate change focal area and by bilateral and multilateral funding.
The overall purpose of this evaluation is to provide the LDCF/SCCF Council with evaluative evidence of the Fund’s relevance and emerging results. The overarching goal and subobjectives of the SCCF translate into three main evaluation questions: 1) How relevant is SCCF support in light of UNFCCC Conference of the Parties (COP) guidance and decisions, and in light of the GEF adaptation programming strategy? 2) How effective and efficient is the SCCF and its portfolio in reaching its objectives, based on emerging results? 3)What are the emerging results of the SCCF and its portfolio and factors that affect the sustainability and resilience of these results?
