Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Strengthening the adaptive capacity to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector of Chile
GCP/CHI/039/GFF - GEF ID: 6955
2021Also available in:
The project “Strengthening the adaptive capacity to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector of Chile”, with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF), sought to reduce the vulnerability and increase the adaptive capacity to climate change in the fisheries and aquaculture sector of Chile. Implemented in four remote coves, the project was geared towards coastal communities through high quality in-person participatory capacity building sessions, raising awareness about topics such as productive diversification, adaptation to climate change, aquaculture and tourism. Despite there being several changes in civil servants and government authorities, as well as certain delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic and civil unrest in the country, the project managed to progress towards the formulated objective, was relevant to the actual situation and suited to the needs of the beneficiaries. Lessons learned were also generated to improve the formulation and management of this type of project in the future. Notably, the evaluation found that climate change adaptation workshops have a high potential for replicability across different geographic settings in the region. -
Book (series)Evaluation of the project “Strengthening community resilience to climate change in Blantyre, Zomba, Neno and Phalombe districts”
Project code: GCP/MLW/067/EC
2021Also available in:
No results found.This report documents the evaluation findings of the project “Strengthening community resilience to climate change in Blantyre, Zomba, Neno and Phalombe districts" - GCP/MLW/067/EC. The project created awareness to the effects of climate change, empowering community members with knowledge and skills on how to apply gender-responsive climate–sensitive practices for increased agricultural production. The communities adopted conservation and safeguarding biodiversity actions to address negative effects caused by floods, heavy winds and prolonged droughts. Some of the key transformational strategies introduced by the project towards anticipating and responding to the effects of climate hazards and shocks include managing and conserving soil, land, water, agro –forestry, and improving child care and overall food and nutrition security. A climate-sensitive and enriched farmer field school curriculum to guide training and sensitization of communities, a pool of trained facilitators, and village savings loan and livestock pass–on schemes are some of the elements to support absorption and adsorption capacity and sustain the benefits. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Enhancing Climate Change Resilience in the Benguela Current Fisheries System"
Project codes: GCP/SFS/480/LDF and GCP/SFS/480/SCF - GEF ID 5113
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project’s objective was “to build resilience and reduce the vulnerability to climate change of the marine fisheries and mariculture sectors in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) through implementation of adaptation strategies”. The recommendations are around: involvement of FAO Country Offices in regional projects to facilitate transfer of activities; funding prioritization after no-cost extensions; institutionalization of the project; and management of joint project budgets. The key lessons learned were on challenges of implementing joint projects in countries with different political economies, importance of national working groups in the coordination of national climate change activities, need to train country coordinators in project and budget management, monitoring and evaluation, communications, and the importance of embedding project into focal ministries/departments for sustainable transitions.
