Legal analysis of the GEF resource allocation framework
The RAF is intended to make GEF funding allocations more equitable, transparent, predictable, and effective by assigning eligible countries with numerical scores based on (1) their potential to generate global environmental benefits in a particular focal area (the "GEF Benefits Index," or GBI) and (2) their capacity, policies, and practices relevant to successful implementation of GEF programs and projects (the "GEF Performance Index," or GPI).
