markets such as wind energy, solar energy, and transportation, which were also
covered in at least one of the other three countries, were represented. While
implementation success was a criteria in selection of the projects within China,
the eventual outcomes and long term impacts were not considered for selection.
Thus, the completed projects covered as part of this evaluation are representative of
GEF’s support to climate change mitigation in the countries covered by the
evaluation.
In all 18 completed climate change mitigation projects were covered. These
projects account for more than US $ 180 million in GEF funding and more than US
$ 680 million in total financing. GEF requires that the project proponents also seek
co-financing from other sources so that GEF funds only the incremental costs of
implementing the projects. Total GEF funding for covered projects ranged from US
$ 1.0 million to $ 40 million, whereas total financing ranged from US $ 3.0 million
to $ 284 million.
The date for start of implementation of the projects covered through the evaluation ranged from 1992 to 2007 and their completion dates ranged from 1997 to
2012. Although the projects were designed to be implemented for a duration of
3–6 years, during implementation several projects needed extension. As a result, the
actual duration of project implementation ranged from about 4 years to 12 years.
Inclusion of projects that ended at different points in time meant that at the time the
evaluation was conducted, different time duration had elapsed post project completion. That this difference is a factor was established when comparison was made
between the observed progress to impact at the point of project completion and at
the time evaluation was conducted.
