BookletTerminal evaluation of the project "Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use into Inland Fisheries Practices in Freshwater Ecosystems of High Conservation Value"
Project code: GCP/INS/303/GFF, GEF ID 5759

No results found.The “Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use into Inland Fisheries Practices in Freshwater Ecosystems of High Conservation Value” project, known as IFish, aimed to combine the mainstreaming of inland aquatic biodiversity into resource development and management policy. It also sought to provide demonstrations of conservation and the sustainable use of inland aquatic biodiversity in critical habitats, along with effective monitoring and assessment. The project put inland fisheries “on the map” for Indonesia. Moreover, it truly influenced Indonesia’s policy and regulatory frameworks, demonstrated best practices and strengthened data collection protocols. Capacity building, which still requires additional time and training, was in the early stages at project completion. The project’s sustainability is moderately likely. There is strong national ownership and a clear exit strategy, but certain risks remain. The evaluation provides recommendations that are primarily addressed to FAO and the ministry partner: i) widely disseminate results, lessons learned and stories to maintain momentum and enhance sustainability; ii) build a business case for inland fisheries within three months of project closure; iii) prepare a Project Identification Form to access GEF-8 funding for a potential IFish 2 project; and iv) ensure future projects include a cross-agency project steering committee to streamline synergy and align with related programmes. -
Book (series)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

No results found.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. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Mainstreaming conservation and valuation of critically endangered species and ecosystems in development-frontier production landscapes in the regions of Arica y Parinacota and Biobío”
Project code: GCP/CHI/033/GFF - GEF ID: 5429
2023Also available in:
The project "Mainstreaming conservation and valuation of critically endangered species and ecosystems in development-frontier production landscapes in the regions of Arica y Parinacota and Bibío", executed between 2016 and 2022, aimed to incorporate conservation criteria for four critically endangered species into the management of the main development-frontier production landscapes of the Arica and Parinacota and Biobío regions. The evaluation results highlight the project's high relevance to the Government of Chile by aligning with national environmental priorities. In addition to promoting the development of public policy instruments focused on the knowledge and protection of the Arica hummingbird, Darwin's fox, the huemul, and the queule (strategies, plans, ordinances, monitoring protocols, and educational material), the project made significant efforts in training and raising awareness about the importance of biodiversity among government officials, farmers and the school population. The efforts in implementing good agrosilvopastoral practices on pilot farms are also noteworthy.
