The approach paper outlines a plan for OPS8, focusing on:
- The GEF strategy, institutional issues, and programming
- GEF performance, impact, and sustainability
OPS8 will evaluate results from OPS7, monitor progress on its recommendations, and assess the implementation of the GEF-8 Strategy. It will summarize key findings, assess the GEF's competitive advantage, and provide strategic recommendations for the replenishment group.
