GEF Independent Evaluation Office

The Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of the Global Environment Facility has a central role in ensuring the independent evaluation function within the GEF. The Office pursues the goals of improved accountability and learning through the following functions:
-Set minimum requirements for M&E
-Ensures oversight of quality of M&E systems at program & project levels
-Shares evaluative evidence within the GEF

The IEO was established by the Council Decision in July 2003. The Office is independent from the policy-making, the delivery, and management of assistance in the GEF. The IEO Director is accountable directly to the GEF Council for the work of the Office and reports directly to the Council.
