Dear George,
Please see below some suggestions to improve the project design:
1. The threats and barriers can help us determine key outcomes and outputs of the project. In fact, you have identified them already but it seems the link between these threats and barriers and the expected outcomes and outputs are not correlated.
Just to illustrate, please see below how this will look like:
|
Barriers |
Expected Outcomes |
Expected Outputs |
Activities/Inputs |
|
1. Low awareness (lack of understanding) of biodiversity valuation/values |
Increased awareness… |
Could be policy support for mainstreaming BD values; etc.
Mechanisms/network established |
Policy studies, case studies, etc.
|
|
2. Lack of baseline and monitoring information |
|
|
|
|
3. Weak capacities of relevant NGAs and LGUs in conducting biodiversity assessments, monitoring and valuation |
Increased/improved capacity…/governance.. |
Tools developed and institutionalized;
BD values established in ___ sites
BD Values incorporated/mainstreamed in development planning/local accounting |
Conduct valuation studies;
Tool development;
Training, etc.
|
|
4. Insufficient funding or absence/lack of financial mechanism to support BD conservation and management |
Increased financing for BD conservation |
|
|
This is just an example to illustrate how to better tighten the logic of your results framework. You may wish to deepen the analysis on the barriers for you to determine the appropriate outcome and outputs of the Project
2. Please omit per component’s objective. In UNDP RBM language, objective is equal to outcome.
3. GEF does not support research alone. Research is just an activity to achieve something bigger (either for capacity building or policy development);
4. Expected outcomes should answer questions such as: Where do we want to be in 3 years? What are the most immediate things we are trying to change? What are the things that must be in place first before we can achieve our goals and have an impact? (eg. expected outcome 1 does not clearly indicate how the tools that will be developed by the project can further halt or reduce biodiversity loss after 3 years. Would it be more appropriate if the outcome would be increased capacity in biodiversity management, while the tools developed are the output of the project?
5. Expected outputs should answer questions such as: What are the things that need to be produced or provided through projects or programmes for us to achieve our short- to medium-term results? What are the things that different stakeholders must provide?
6. There are output statements that are in fact activities or inputs or actions to be done to produce the outputs (eg. gathering of national taxonomic and ecological information, creation of advisory panel).
I have attached here a sample PIF which was approved by GEF already
Hope this helps.
