Evaluation of the MSF OCB Green Initiatives

Green Initiatives is a funding envelope, established in 2023 by MSF Operational Centre Brussels (OCB), to support operational teams in reducing the environmental footprint of operations while maintaining and improving the quality of care. Between 2023 and 2026, the initiative funded 88 proposals, allocating a total of €10.7 million. Beyond funding individual projects, the envelope was intended to create space for environmental considerations to become part of routine operational planning and decision-making.

Combining four country case studies with a portfolio analysis, document review, and key stakeholder interviews, the evaluation examined how Green Initiatives functions as an organisational mechanism to influence operational practice, with the aim of informing decisions about its future role and design.
