This year’s ECWs have a renewed agenda, with hands-on practical exercises on national capacity development (NCSA), results-based management, monitoring and evaluation, and synergies in project design presented by Convention Secretariats (CBD, UNFCCC, UNCCD). The agenda will further focus on discussions regarding the GEF 6 Strategies, the new GEF Fee Policy, and the Project Cycle harmonization.
