Synopsis (short abstract) The project proved to be highly consistent with the priorities of FAO and the government, and designed to meet the needs of the beneficiaries. The project effectively adopted an inclusive co-creation approach to foster adoption of sustainable land and water management and development of innovative agrobiodiversity conservation practices. The design was ambitious but interventions were well targeted. There has been substantial progress towards long-term impact, viewed by stakeholders as largely attributable to the project. Changes made by the project to policies, plans, legal provisions and regulations increase the likelihood of long-term, sustainable impacts, and there was extensive evidence found in positive changes in field-level practices by farmers and wetland managers. The project had high additionality, facilitating a unified cross-sectoral approach to deliver a suite of soil, water, environmental and socioeconomic benefits that are unlikely to have occurred without the support of the Global Environment Facility.

    The five-year project is funded by GEF and implemented by FAO. The executing partner is the Department of Water Resources, Jilin Province. The project uses the western Jilin wetlands to address one of the most disruptive environmental challenges in China: large-scale land degradation and biodiversity damages caused by decreasing water resources. Its global environmental objective is to demonstrate and replicate an integrated model for Sustainable Land and Water Management (SLWM) in saline-alkaline productive landscapes, including rehabilitation and biodiversity conservation in wetlands. The development objective is to provide the long-term sustainable flow of income to farmers’ communities from farming systems (crop, livestock and fish) in the western area of Jilin Province by building an ecologically resilient productive landscape.

    This is the terminal evaluation report of the project “Piloting Provincial-level Wetland Protected Area System in Jiangxi Province”. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) funded the project in China, and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) implemented it. The Poyang Lake National Nature Reserve (PLNNR) in Jiangxi Province acted as the executing partner. The primary audience and users of this evaluation are: FAO divisions, Regional Offices and Country Offices; other project stakeholders; Chinese government counterparts; and the GEF.The terminal evaluation was based on several evaluation questions and used four main sources of data: (i) desk reviews of relevant documents and information; (ii) key informant interviews (KIIs) with project stakeholders; (iii) focus group discussions (FGDs); and (iv) field visits. Data were analysed to address the evaluation questions, and ratings were assigned according to the GEF evaluation requirements.
