1. Annual
Monitoring of
GEF IW Projects
GEF IW Task Force
M&E Framework as
June 1, 2006
applied to
Self-Assessment

2. •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).

3. Cumulative Coverage
as of May 2006*
• 0 (0) “waterbody” projects established Web sites w/IW:LEARN tools,
0 (0) Web sites connected with iwlearn.net via IW-IMS
• 10,668 (10,668) unique visits to iwlearn.net from over 120 (120)
countries.
• 3 (3) helpdesk requests fielded from 3 (3) countries & 0 (0) projects.
• 216 (41) people from 70 (21) GEF-beneficiary countries across

including 36% (41%) women and 64% (59%) men -- since 1998
• 291 (0) participants in 3rd
IW Conference, of which 80% male,
63% from GEF IW beneficiary nations, and 52% from the Americas
• 150 (150) people and 57 (57) GEF projects received GEF IW Bridges
newsletters via direct mailing.…

5. IW:LEARN Results
• Per GEF IW Scorecard, focus on..
– Catalytic Impact Indicators (Annually, Section III)
(cf. “Outcomes” and more)
– Implementation Progress (Quarterly, Section IV)
– Disbursement (quarterly)
– Co-finance (annually)

6. III. IW:LEARN Outcomes
(Catalytic Impacts)
Across 5 Project Components:

20. Take Home Message
• 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)
