    On 25-26 May 2016, the Plant Production and Protection and Land and Water divisions of FAO Rome convened in Nairobi a Regional pol-icy dialogue on ecosystem services from sustainable agriculture for biodiversity conservation. The event brought together some 50 participants from government agencies, academia, NGOs and FAO country offices, with the overall goals to:
    • Raise awareness on the key linkage between the conservation of agricultural ecosystem services and biodiversity, and the ben efits that ensue from this for agricultural production; and
    • Establish mechanisms for cross-sectoral co-ordination geared towards the formulation of policies that support ecosystem services and biodiversity in Kenya – and more broadly within countries of the East African Community.

    Terminal evaluation of the project "Implementing the socio-ecosystem connectivity approach to conserve and sustainable use biodiversity in the Caribbean Region of Colombia"
    Project code: GCP/COL/041/GFF - GEF ID: 5288

    The project “Implementing the socio-ecosystem approach to conserve and sustainable use biodiversity in the Caribbean Region of Colombia” was financed by the GEF, implemented, and executed by FAO. The results of the evaluation highlight the relevance of the project to reduce the degradation and fragmentation of the strategic ecosystems of the Caribbean Colombian area, increase and improve the provision of goods and services from agricultural and forestry production. It was also found a high effectiveness of the project in obtaining the expected results, exceeding in some cases, the established goals. Likewise, the processes and mechanisms implemented by the project for the involvement of relevant stakeholders generated a very high ownership of the project. Due to the successes achieved, the evaluation identified good practices and lessons learned that may be useful for the design of similar projects. Among the main areas for improvement that were identified, is to improve the design of goals related to the impact on policy instruments and the determination of co-financing by the project partners; the institutionalization of the Regional Strategy of Socioecosystemic Connectivities to ensure its replicability and the revision of the tool for monitoring the effectiveness in the management of the GEF.

    Terminal evaluation of the project “Dynamic Conservation and Sustainable Use of Agricultural Biodiversity to ensure Food Security and Ecosystems Services and Resiliency”
    Project code: GCP/PHI/062/GFF - GEF ID: 5549

    This project supports the Government of the Philippines in efforts to conserve the country’s globally important agrobiodiversity and traditional agroecosystems. The project comprised three interlinked components: mainstreaming agrobiodiversity into policy and legal frameworks; piloting activities to expand dynamic conservation practices in three pilot communities; and disseminating learning and preparing for scaling up. The project aligned strongly with Philippines Government, FAO and GEF priorities, and impressive progress was made on policy objectives. There was less progress in enhancing dynamic conservation practices for agrobiodiversity in the pilot communities. Recommendations focused on developing a successful exit strategy, capturing experience effectively, and carrying out a systems review for future FAO-supported agrobiodiversity projects.
