The 21st meeting of the Facilitation Committee (FC) of the GM, held on 28 September 2009 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, discussed a proposal developed by the GM to engage the FC in the review of the programmatic portfolios of its member organizations with a view to measuring their investments in sustainable land management (SLM).
The proposal, presented by Mr. Simone Quatrini, Coordinator of the GM’s Policy and Investment Analysis Programme, builds on the analytical approach and methodology of the GM developed by the GM for portfolio reviews in collaboration with IFAD, TerrAfrica, the World Bank and the African Development Bank, and on the know-how and experience in conducting portfolio reviews of international financial institutions accumulated since 2005.
The portfolio reviews will enable the FC member organizations to:
- measure and compare their levels of investments in SLM;
- assess their contributions to the achievement of corporate, national and international goals and priorities;
- identify opportunities for leveraging potential synergies and complementarities; and
- establish baseline values against which future patterns and trends can be measured.
