This synthesis study will be conducted by a firm and overseen jointly by the evaluation units of the four climate funds; namely the Technical Evaluation Reference Group of the Adaptation Fund (AF-TERG); the Evaluation and Learning Initiative of the Climate Investment Funds (CIF E&L Initiative); the Independent Evaluation Unit of the Green Climate Fund (GCF IEU); and the Independent Evaluation Office of the Global Environment Facility (GEF IEO). For further background regarding the Four Funds work in Forestry; refer to the Annex of this EoI.The four climate funds have collectively supported numerous forestry-related projects aimed at improving resilience; adaptive capacity; and carbon sequestration while addressing deforestation and land degradation challenges (see Annex for more details). These projects contribute to global climate change mitigation and adaptation goals. Given the increasing complexity of evaluating climate change interventions; Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers significant potential to enhance evaluation processes by synthesizing large datasets; identifying trends; and generating actionable insights. This pilot study seeks to explore how AI can be applied to this type of evaluations while addressing challenges such as data quality; methodological limitations; and capacity gaps.This study aims to inform stakeholders by synthesizing evaluative evidence; lessons learned; and conclusions from evaluations and relevant knowledge products generated by the Four Funds and their evaluation units. This synthesis will focus on forestry-related projects across four climate funds while also assessing AI's role in enhancing evaluation practices. On one side; the study will conduct synthesis of evidence from projects funded by these funds; specifically targeting forestry-related mitigation and adaptation efforts. On the other side; the study will explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be applied as part of this evaluation; assess relevant opportunities and challenges; and identify entry points for its application in future evaluations.Therefore; the four funds would like to seek the support of a qualified vendor to conduct this AI Pilot Synthesis Study.
