The Climate Delivery Initiative (CDI) sets out to identify, analyze, and catalog operational barriers and solutions often associated with climate finance programs. It aims to support policymakers and operational teams in designing and deploying more responsive climate interventions. The CDI marks the next generation of CIF’s Delivery Challenge case study series, building on the success of the CIF and Global Delivery Initiative (GDI) partnership over the past two years. The CDI has launched a new case study that looks at private sector engagement in off-grid solar electrification in Rwanda. Read more about the study here.

An independent evaluation of CIF’s Scaling Up Renewable Energy Program in Low-Income Countries (SREP) program examines the program’s challenges and achievements to date. The evaluation looks at lessons from program design and delivery, as well as progress toward results. The evaluation finds that the SREP program occupies a highly relevant and ambitious niche in the global climate finance architecture. By pursuing pioneering investments in challenging country contexts, it brings substantial concessional finance to countries that have struggled to attract it, particularly fragile and conflict-affected states.

The report highlights good practices for gender integration in CIF project design. The guidance lays out three basic steps for effective gender integration: (i) conducting a sector-specific analysis to identify gender gaps; (ii) planning specific actions to address those gaps; and (iii) defining how progress on those actions and their impacts will be measured, using specific gender indicators.

The study aims to understand the quality of gender integration in CIF’s investment plan and project portfolio at entry, as well as review reporting on gender results. The report identifies key gender equality outcome areas, determines the extent to which related gender gaps are part of the rationale for the investment plans and projects, and provides recommendations to strengthen gender integration across CIF investments.

The report analyzes the nexus of gender equality, indigenous people and local communities, landscapes, and climate change by looking at a wide range of World Bank DGM projects, supported by the CIF. The innovative study showcases how these priority areas can come together and bring about transformative change towards low carbon, climate-resilient development that fosters gender equality.

A new five-year business plan for the CIF’s Evaluation and Learning (E&L) Initiative has been adopted. The business plan was developed through extensive consultations across all CIF stakeholder groups. The plan focuses on the generation and dissemination of new evidence and applied learning through collaborations and partnerships on five priority themes — transformational change; just transition; development impacts; scaling climate finance; and sector/program-specific topics, including mid-term and other evaluations.
