The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a financial mechanism that provides grants and concessional funding to develop-ing countries for projects and programs aimed at protecting the global environment. GEF resources are available for pro-

jects and other activities in four thematic areas: climate change, biological diversity, international waters and reduction of ozone

layer depletion. Activities addressing land degradation - primarily desertification and deforestation - are also eligible for

funding when related to the four focal areas.

Launched in 1991 as a pilot program, the GEF is implemented by three international agencies: the United Nations Development

Programme (UNDP); the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP); and the World Bank. An Administrator's Office

provides overall coordination of the GEF.

More than eighty countries became members of the GEF during its pilot phase. In March 1994, participating governments suc-

cessfully concluded negotiations to restructure the Facility and replenish its Core Fund with US$2 billion for commitment over

a three-year period.

All projects contained in this report received endorsement by the GEF participating governments during the three-year GEF

pilot phase. Once reviewed and endorsed by the participants at their bi-annual meetings, projects then entered into the GEF

work program, and were returned to the responsible implementing agency for final approval. This process typically takes

between six months and two years. In general, funds are disbursed to each project over a period of between two and five years.

As of April 1994, the three partner GEF agencies are responsible for 115 projects. Of these, 57 projects have received approval

from their respective implementing agencies (31 biodiversity; 21 global warming; 5 international waters).

Notes on using the Operational BulletinCONTENTS

The Operational Bulletin is designed to provide, on a quarterly basis, a comprehensive

review and status report of the GEF work program being implemented by UNDP,UNEP and the World Bank. Accordingly, the projects of all three agencies are aggre-gated throughout the Bulletin.

GEF Work Program (alphabetically by region) ............................................. 4-5A brief description of each of the GEF's 115 projects - organized alphabetically byregion - can be found on pages 6-14. Each description lists the name of the UNDP,UNEP or World Bank Task Manager responsible for the project. Inquiries about spe-
