Implementation Support
UNEP’s Role in GEF
• The only Implementing Agency of the GEF whose
core business is the environment;
• Supports strategic and policy direction of GEF, and
performs legal obligations;
• Enhances scientific rigor and relevance, including by
providing the secretariat of the STAP;
• Help to mainstream environment into other sectors
through partnerships (including One-UN, UN REDD,
etc.)
UNEP’s Comparative
Advantages in GEF
1. Scientific assessments, monitoring, early warning;
2. Linking science to policy (Capacity Building,
Enabling Activities) at national, regional and global
levels;
3. Innovation, technology transfer and lifting barriers;
4. National, multi country-regional, transboundary and
global cooperation;
5. Awareness raising, advocacy, and knowledge
management.
Partnerships
UN and Beyond
• Governments
• International organizations and NGOs (BGCI, CGIAR:
Bioversity International, ILRI,CIAT/TSBF, IUCN)
• UN organizations programmes: FAO,UNESCO, WTO,
WHO,UNEP WCMC, etc.
• Science community (Diversitas)
