Tracking tools are not mandatory for Medium Sized projects = < 2M USD at mid-term, but only at project completion. The new GEF-7 results indicators (core and sub-indicators) will be applied to all projects and programs approved on or after July 1, 2018. Also projects and programs approved from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2018 (GEF-6) must apply core indicators and sub-indicators at mid-term and/or completion Page 2 of 27 Status Implementation Status 2nd PIR (1st PIR, 2nd PIR, etc. Final PIR): Project Contact Contact Name, Title, Division/Affiliation E-mail Project Manager / Joao da Costa Vintem, FAO Angola [email protected] Coordinator Abram Bicksler (AGPM) [email protected] Lead Technical Officer Gherda Barreto [email protected] Budget Holder GEF Funding Liaison Fritjof Boerstler, CBC Technical Officer [email protected] Officer, Investment Centre Division Page 3 of 27 1.
