2. GEF-4 Strategic Objectives for IWGEF-4 Strategic Objectives for IW
• IW-2: Expand foundational capacity building to a limited
number of new transboundary waters through integrated
approaches and undertake targeted learning
Percentage Resources: 20%
Outcomes/Results: ministerially agreed strategic action
programs reforms/investments; inter-ministry
committees; capacity developed
3. Annual
Monitoring of
GEF IW Projects Technical Support and Structured Learning Projects
Thematic or global projects to help share experiences, promote participation,
increase awareness, catalyze actions and partnerships – OP 10 / SO IW-2
Catalytic Impact Indicators
Number of hits at project website
Number of downloads from project
website
Effectiveness of structured learning -
exchange activities as it emerges from
evaluation questionnaires filled by
participants (0-3)
Effectiveness of IWC (IW Portfolio
Conference) and face to face meetings held,
as it emerges from evaluation
questionnaires (0-3)
Partnerships solidified or new ones/ new
activities & cofinancing (0-3)

4. •In order to utilize the framework as a tracking tool for
Replenishment results/targets, an Annual Scorecard for each
project will submitted. Part A: annual results (last 12 months) and
Part B: cumulative results (since beginning of project).
•For all projects, agencies would also annually report on
implementation progress (% of scheduled disbursement;
delivery of outputs in line with original schedule; co-financing
on schedule) to contribute to a portfolio characterization.
•Two tracking tools will be maintained for results reporting for
Replenishment purposes by the IW Task Force: a Coverage
Indicator Tracking Tool, and a Results Indicator Tracking Tool
(with annual and cumulative tables – see attached example).
5. IW:LEARN’s Coverage

IW:LEARN tools, #Z2# now connected with iwlearn.net via IW-IMS

8. III. IW:LEARN Outcomes
(Catalytic Impacts)
Across 5 Project Components:
A. Information Sharing: >75% projects use IW-IMS and >50% of users
obtain needed info by 2008.

21. Take Home Message
• IW:LEARN revving up for new M&E framework;
Self-assessment ETA: Spring SC meeting (2006)
• IW:LEARN needs PALs and other partners to help
collate data to support indicators tracking IW:LEARN’s:
– Coverage
• By activity; across projects, geography, gender
– Results
• Catalytic Impacts (annually)
• Progress (quarterly)
• Disbursement (quarterly)
• Co-finance (annually)
Thank you for your ongoing help!
