Validated Terminal Review of the UNEP-GEF Project ‘Costa Rica's integrated reporting and transparency system’ (GEF ID 9652) 2017 – 2023

This report is a Terminal Review of a UNEP/GEF 9652 project implemented between 2017 and 2023. The project's overall development goal was that Costa Rica complies with the requirements of the transparency framework under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change (CBIT 9652). The review sought to assess project performance (in terms of relevance, effectiveness and efficiency), and determine outcomes and impacts (actual and potential) stemming from the project, including their sustainability. The review has two primary purposes: (i) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and (ii) to promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UNEP, the GEF and the relevant agencies of the project participating countries.
