This evaluation assesses the effectiveness, relevance, coherence, and results of the Global Environment Facility (GEF) supported Global Wildlife Program (GWP). It examines the program's performance in supporting wildlife conservation efforts through ongoing and recently completed GWP projects. The evaluation explores the GWP's evolution, programmatic additionality, approach and processes, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and knowledge management. Particular emphasis is placed on the program's relevance in addressing the international wildlife trade (IWT), the primary focus during the pilot GEF-6 replenishment period and continuing through subsequent periods. Additionally, the evaluation considers the impact of cross-cutting issues such as COVID-19, risks, and stakeholder engagement in the program.
