Accessing the GEF's expertise base
The GEF relies upon a broad range of experts to develop its interventions and to learn lessons from implementation. The Scientific and Technical Advisory Panel is just one source of expertise, others include the sector specialists and other environment professionals within GEF agencies, including within the GEF Secretariat. Additionally the scientific and technical advisory bodies to the GEF-related Conventions connect to globally representative science networks.
Similarly the GEF's own Science Panel maintains its own network drawn from the global science community, which in the interests of transparency is also made available to the GEF partnership.
