Integrated Approach Pilots: Charting a New Frontier for the Global Environment

1. Taking Deforestation out of Commodities Supply Chain

2. Food Security in Sub-Saharan Africa

3. Sustainable Cities

GEF-6 Integrated Approach Pilots (IAP)

Deliver global environmental benefits beyond single GEF focal area Time-bound nature of concrete impact Relevance for Sustainable Development Innovative way to support action at multiple levels based on partnership

IAP 1: Taking Deforestation Out of Commodity Supply Chains

Linking long-term national sustainable development policies and programs with day-to-day value chain management approaches

Enhance understanding

among decision makers

Strengthen enabling environment

Support uptake of best production practice

Enhance investment in sustainable commodities

Market-based approach

Whole value-chain engagement

Components of Commodities IAP

Taking Deforestation

Out of Commodity

Supply Chains Enabling Environment &

Facilitating Conditions

Increase of Supply through means which do not lead to deforestation

Increase of Demand for Sustainable

Commodities

- National Governments- Financial Institutions

- Producers- Services Providers- Local Communities

- Buyers- Traders- Processors

Global Consortium for Commodities IAP

Programming Process• June 2014 – Theory of Change prepared and potential approaches

considered by agencies and GEFSEC• July 2014 – Agencies met to agree on ToC and outline structure• August 2014 – Implementation structured agreed between agencies• September onwards –Preliminary Steering Group established, regular

fortnightly SG telephone conference calls + specific work groups• Partners joining, eg. The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation• Stakeholder discussion events are being programmed in Indonesia,

Brazil and China within the next 5 weeks involving governmental, private sector, civil society stakeholders, as well as other active organizations and existing initiatives and donors.
