BookletTerminal evaluation of the project "Smart Adaptation of Forest Landscapes in Mountain Areas"
Project code: GCP/LEB/027/SCF, GEF ID 5125
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project objective was to achieve climate resilience for vulnerable forest ecosystems and rural mountain communities, through the promotion of environmental governance by integrating community-based and ecosystem-based adaptation approaches. The evaluation found that the project was highly relevant and aligned with national priorities, however the limited community participation diminished its significance to targeted communities. While the project showed high technical delivery capacity, delays and staffing issues impacted effectiveness, particularly in fostering community engagement and capacity building. Inefficient time management and an outdated exit strategy further hindered efficiency and reduced the potential for sustainability. The extension's primary value lies in completing the generation of significant forestry data to be accessible through a monitoring unit at the National Center for Remote Sensing, though operationalizing plans remains uncertain. Based on the above, the evaluation recommended to design and implement a follow-up project to facilitate and support a participatory validation process of the forest management plans in the respective communities. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Mainstreaming ecosystem-based approaches to climate-resilient rural livelihoods in vulnerable rural areas through the farmer field school methodology
Project code: GCP/SEN/065/LDF GEF ID: 5503
2022Also available in:
This terminal evaluation covers the project "Mainstreaming ecosystem-based approaches to climate-resilient rural livelihoods in vulnerable rural areas through the farmer field school (FFS) methodology", funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The overall performance of the project is moderately satisfactory. The project is relevant in its response to climate change adaptation needs in Senegal. It is coherent in its design and is in phase with the Plan Senegal Emergent (PSE). The evaluation found that the project has contributed to capacity building of institutional actors and farmers organizations on climate change adaptation, resilience and gender equity. Notable results include: capacity building of technicians, relay producers, farmers and agro-pastoralists on good practices of adaptation to climate change, through the field-school approach; the establishment of a climate resilience fund that has allowed to finance micro-projects in rural area; the dissemination of agro-climatic information; trainings on adapted climate change practices at the farmfer field school (FFS) and agropastoral field school (APFS) level. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Sustainable management of mountainous forest and land resources under climate change conditions
GCP/KYR/010/GFF
2022Also available in:
No results found.The project was designed to address the following interlinked barriers preventing sustainable land and forest management outcomes and building resilience to climate change in Kyrgyz mountain ecosystems: inadequate legal framework for sustainable forest and land management, inadequate land tenure reforms, outdated approaches to sustainable forest and land management, and limited capacity of local institutions. The project’s overall objective is to enhance the enabling environment in the forestry and agricultural sectors and sustain the flow of ecosystem services, including enhancement of carbon stocks in forests and agro-ecosystems through the sustainable management and enhanced productivity of mountainous silvo-agro-pastoral ecosystems, and to improve productivity and mountain livelihoods in the Kyrgyz Republic. Overall, the evaluation rated the project as “moderately satisfactory”, with several examples of positive new approaches introduced by the project into forestry, agriculture and pasture management. The evaluation included specific recommendations not only to FAO, but also to the national forestry service. One of the innovative recommendations is to revisit the project sites in five to ten years to check certain success factors, such as the tree survival rates.
