The evaluation of GCRF seeks to assess the extent to which the Fund has contributed to its objectives and impact, and consists of a multi-year evaluation (2020-25). The present study, Year 4 VfM assessment, seeks to assess value for money (VfM) in GCRF. This study builds on previous phases of VfM assessment as part of the GCRF evaluation and precedes the final VfM assessment in Year 5. Consequently, the findings from this report do not represent a final judgement on VfM for the Fund but rather provide an indication of the performance of the Fund at the time of reporting. A final assessment will be made in the 2025 VfM report.
