12
Gender tag *

0 = not targeted - The activity has been screened against the marker but has not been found to target gender equality.
1 = significant - Gender equality is an important and deliberate objective, but not the principal reason for undertaking the activity.
2 = principal - Gender equality is the main objective of the activity and is fundamental in its design and expected results. The activity would not have been undertaken without this gender equality objective.		*When a tag of 2 is selected, evidence/explanation must be provided.
*Evidence should clearly demonstrate that gender equality or climate are the main objective of the result and were fundamental in the design of the activity.
*Evidence should preferably refer to specific gender/climate performance indicators and analysis. Evidence where results are only disaggregated by gender is not sufficient.
*Evidence is not required for tags 0 or 1.
*Also see: Handbook on the OECD-DAC gender equality policy marker, DAC gender equality policy marker and OECD DAC Rio Markers for Climate: Handbook.

Climate tag *

0 = not targeted - The activity has been screened against the marker but has not been found to target climate.
1 = significant - Climate is an important and deliberate objective, but not the principal reason for undertaking the activity.
2 = principal - Climate is the main objective of the activity and is fundamental in its design and expected results. The activity would not have been undertaken without this climate objective.		https://www.oecd.org/dac/environment-development/Revised%20climate%20marker%20handbook_FINAL.pdf

Level 9 - The innovation is validated for its ability to achieve a specific impact under uncontrolled conditions.
Level 8 - The innovation is being tested for its ability to achieve a specific impact under uncontrolled conditions.
Level 7 - The innovation is validated for its ability to achieve a specific impact under semi-controlled conditions.
Level 6 - The innovation is being tested for its ability to achieve a specific impact under semi-controlled conditions.
Level 5 - The innovation is validated for its ability to achieve a specific impact under fully controlled conditions.
Level 4 - The innovation is being tested for its ability to achieve a specific impact under fully controlled conditions.
Level 3 - The innovation’s key concepts have been validated for their ability to achieve a specific impact.
Level 2 - The innovation’s key concepts are being formulated or designed.
