Terminal evaluation due in No coming fiscal year (July 2019 – June 2020). Terminal Evaluation Date Actual: Tracking tools/ Core indicators No required6 Ratings Overall rating of progress Moderately Satisfactory towards achieving objectives/ outcomes (cumulative): Overall implementation Moderately Satisfactory progress rating: Overall risk rating: Low Status Implementation Status 4th PIR (1st PIR, 2nd PIR, etc. Final PIR): 6 Please note that the Tracking Tools are required at mid-term and closure for all GEF-4 and GEF-5 projects. 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 39 Project Contacts Contact Name, Title, Division/Affiliation E-mail Project Manager / Jacqueline SAGBOHAN [email protected] Coordinator Elisabetta TAGLIATI [email protected] Lead Technical Officer Mphumuzi SUKATI [email protected] Budget Holder GEF Funding Liaison Kuena MOREBOTSANE [email protected] Officer, Investment Centre Division Page 3 of 39 1.
