GREATER MEKONG SUBREGIONCORE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM

GMS CEP-BCI Phase IIResults Monitoring Framework

GMS Environment Operations Center

GREATER MEKONG SUBREGIONCORE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAMMonitoring during Phase 1

• Multiple different sets of monitoring– Program DMF – DPSIR monitoring framework developed to track BCI

and other program elements (impact level)– Financial monitoring – Activity monitoring under LoAs

• Challenges and opportunities– Lack of consistent follow up and application of MF – Fragmentation of information collection and reporting

• Opportunities for Phase 2– Transition from monitoring inputs and outputs / activity

delivery to tracking results at a program level

Phase 2 Results Monitoring Framework

Level 1: GMS development trendsIMPACT LEVEL

Tracked through: GMS Statistics

Level 3: CEP-BCI operational efficiencyINPUT LEVEL

tracked through: Annual financial, administration reports and program evaluations

Level 2: Effectiveness of CEP-BCI interventions

OUTCOME AND OUTPUT LEVELTracked through: DMF annual updates, progress

reporting

How effective have CEP-BCI activities

been in contributing to development outcomes?

How efficient are CEP-BCI operations and

staff?

What progress has been made on

development in the GMS?

GREATER MEKONG SUBREGIONCORE ENVIRONMENT PROGRAM

Level 1: GMS Development Trends• Tracks IMPACT level trends –

Changes in these trends are a result of cumulative efforts of all partners over time.

• Adapted DPSIR framework from Phase 1; Applicable at four levels: Regional, National, Landscape / Provincial and Site level

• Examples of themes tracked: changing demographic situation, dependence on primary resources, climate change, land use change

• Tracked through: GMS-EOC interactive web tools (GMS Statistics, Interactive Atlas)

Level 2: Effectiveness of CEP-BCI interventions

• Tracks OUTPUTS and OUTCOMES which can be linked directly to CEP-BCI

• Components and subcomponents: Targets for 2016 outlined in program DMF; Annual milestones and indicators proposed in component strategies (2013 to 2015)

• Activity level indicators and targets developed during activity scoping

• Reported through EOC and NSU progress reporting to WGE, individual activity progress reporting

Level 3: Efficiency of EOC operations

• Tracks inputs and operational (financial and staff) efficiency of EOC

• Some examples:– Program performance (Timeliness of reporting, % of

annual milestones met, effectiveness and relevance rating during program evaluation)

– Financial mobilization (% overheads / EOC cost, annual disbursement and liquidation ratios)

– EOC / NSU staff resources (gender, GMS nationals, NSU participation)

• Reported through EOC and NSU progress reports to WGE
