The purpose of this evaluation is to critically assess whether the GEF has the appropriate governance structure and fiduciary controls to assist countries in their efforts to achieve their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) especially in the context of building back after the COVID-19 pandemic. The objectives of this evaluation are to: (a) assess the extent of inclusiveness; transparency and efficiency in the functioning of the GEF partnership (i.e. the internal governance); (b) review the GEF role in and support to promoting good governance in recipient countries and accredited agencies (external governance); (c) review the fiduciary policy of the GEF including its implementation; and (d) assess the adequacy of resources; including human; available to ensure appropriate fiduciary controls and risk management.
