Need to develop a plan of action that responds to the needs of the GEF program while addressing the constraints
Need to address knowledge barrier – insufficient sharing of experiences , limited familiarity to GEF policies and procedures
….Challenges

Need to clarify institutional governance barrier – overlapping mandates
Need to resolve policy barrier - sectoral development framework and policies vis country poverty reduction strategies
…Challenges

• Need to enhance M&E system an database of GEF projects
• Strong need to link existing monitoring mechanisms of IAs/EAs with the monitoring of GEF-OFP
• Need to review and fully implement the criteria for prioritization of projects for funding
…Challenges
