System of Transparent Allocation of
Resources - STAR
GEF Familiarization Seminar
January 17-19, 2012
Ramesh Ramankutty
Head, Operations & Business Strategy
INTRODUCTION
• Issues from GEF4 to GEF5
– GEF Council requested reforms in resource allocation
framework (RAF)
– Recipient countries requested new rules
– GEF evaluation office provided useful comments
• This presentation demonstrates how the GEF meets these
new challenges
OUTLINES
– What is new from GEF-4 RAF to GEF-5 STAR
– Impacts of the new things
– Overall allocations of the GEF-5
– Future development of the STAR
WHAT IS NEW IN THE GEF-5 STAR?
NEW ALLOCATION AREA AND COUNTRIES
GEF-4 RAF
• Areas: Biodiversity and
climate change
• Country categories:
– Individual and group
– LDC and SIDS in group
GEF-5 STAR
• Areas: Biodiversity, climate
change, and land
degradation
• Country categories:
– All the countries are equal
– No group countries
A NEW MAJOR COMPONENT
GEF 4 RAF
• GEF Benefits Index
(GBI)
GEF 5 STAR
• GEF Benefits Index (GBI)
• GEF Performance Index (GPI)
• GEF Performance
Index (GPI)
 Social Economic Development
Index measured as GDP index
(GDPI)
NEW RULES
GEF-4 RAF
• Caps:
– 10% for BD and 15% for CC
• Floors:
– No
• Others:
– 50% rule,
– Set-aside 10%
GEF-5 STAR
• Caps:
– 10% for BD and LD, 11% for CC
• Floors:
– $2 mn in CC, $1.5 mn in BD,
and $0.5 in LD
• Others:
– Flexibility for small countries (90%
rule),
– More weight (25%) for marine
scores in GBIBD,
– 5% of CC scores are from
countries’ forested areas
– Set-aside 20%
PROGRAMS NOT YET IN THE STAR
• International waters
• Persistent organic pollutants and sound chemicals
management
• Corporate budgets
• National dialogue initiative
• Country support program
• Regional and global projects/programs
• Small grants programs
• Earth fund (private sector)
GDP-BASED INDEX (GDPI)
• GDPI = GDP-0.04
• Rationale: Poorer countries need more funds
to build capacity for GEF project
development and implementation
Key message: the higher the GDP per capita, the lower the
country’s GDPI
GEF BENEFITS INDEX IN BD
• GBIBD = 75% × Terrestrial Score + 25% ×
Marine Score
– Terrestrial Score = 40% × Representative Species + 40% ×
Threatened Species + 10% × Representative Eco-region +
10% × Threatened Eco-region
– Marine score = the credits from all of the marine species
located in the territorial waters of the country
Key message: Reward countries with more species and eco-regions
GEF BENEFITS INDEX IN LD
GBILD = 60% × proportion of dryland area + 20%
× proportion of rural population + 20% ×
global share of land area affected
Key message: Reward countries with high proportion of dryland area
COUNTRY’S ALLOCATION SCORE (CAS)
• CASBD = GPI × GDPI-0.04 × GBIBD 0.8
biodiversity
for
• CASCC = GPI × GDPI-0.04 × GBICC 0.8
change
for climate
• CASLD = GPI × GDPI-0.04 × GBILD 0.8
degradation
for land
Key message: A country has only one GPI and one GDPI , but three GBIs

Key message: GDPI cuts up to 7% from the rich and adds up to 12% to the poor.
$2,760 GDP per capita is the threshold.
Impact of a “no group” allocation
GEF-4 RAF
• Individual countries in CC :
– 50
• Individual countries in BD:
– 58
• Individual countries in LD:
– None
GEF-5 STAR
• Individual countries in CC :
– 144
• Individual countries in BD:
– 144
• Individual countries in LD:
– 143

Key message: Using $2, $1.5 and $0.5 mn as floors will ensure a small country to have at least one
project, and no more than 10% of resources to be allocated to the floored countries.

CONCLUSIONS
The GEF used new methodology and updated indicators to meet the
challenges of donors and recipient countries
The new allocation system (STAR) is
• more completed than the GEF 4 RAF
• increasing the shares of allocation to the least developed
countries
• providing wider and more even allocations
• ensuring small countries to have enough funds to
implement at least one project in GEF 5 period
• more transparent in resource allocations
NEXT STEPS
• Develop new GBI for persistent organic
pollution and international waters
• Improve GBIBD, GBICC and GBILD
• Update and improve GPI and GDPI
