BookletTerminal evaluation of the project "Building climate change resilience in the fisheries sector in Malawi"
Project code: GCP/MLW/053/LDF, GEF ID: 5328
2024Also available in:
No results found.The FAO project “Building climate change resilience in the fisheries sector in Malawi” (the FiRM project, funded by the Global Environment Facility), aimed to build climate resilience in Malawi’s fisheries sector, focusing on Lake Malombe’s vulnerable fishing communities. This region faces significant challenges such as overfishing, ecosystem degradation, and increasing climate-related risks. The project began implementation in 2017 and involved climate information dissemination, policy support, and capacity-building efforts to enhance community resilience. The final independent evaluation of the project rated it as Mildly Satisfactory overall. While the project successfully raised climate awareness and supported co-management practices, challenges emerged in sustaining institutional ownership and in delivering lasting climate-resilient practices. Recommendations include streamlining FAO processes, for FAO Malawi to engage in policy influence, strategy in the fisheries sector in the country and promoting local governance capacity, and supporting more business-aligned interventions that meet community needs. -
BookletEvaluation of the project “Increased climate resilience of rural households and communities through the rehabilitation of production landscapes in selected localities of the Republic of Cuba”
Mid-term report, project code: GCP/CUB/021/GCF
2025Also available in:
The project seeks to increase the climate resilience of agricultural production and ensure food security through improved ecosystem services from agroforestry, silvopastoral systems, reforestation and assisted natural forest regeneration in seven vulnerable municipalities. The evaluation found the project is on track to achieve its expected results. It remains highly relevant to national priorities, and its activities address the localized climate resilience needs of agricultural producers. High levels of stakeholder coordination, engagement and ownership at all levels helped to advance implementation. External factors led to implementation delays and impeded progress towards mid-term targets in some areas. Early results demonstrate that the productive landscape restoration activities are triggering an environmental recovery at the farm and landscape levels. The evaluation recommends extending the project time frame; reinforcing technical capacities in areas of climate change mitigation; strengthening capacity building and mechanisms to support women’s leadership and economic empowerment; strengthening the project’s monitoring tools to better capture strategic results; and reinforcing the project’s sustainability and paradigm shift potential. -

Evaluation highlights
2025Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to build climate resilience in the beleaguered fisheries sector of Malawi, especially among the heavily overfished riparian communities of Lake Malombe. Its core objectives expanded climate information access, established supportive policies and regulations, and built local capacities to improve resilience in this highly vulnerable sector. The Department of Fisheries of the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Development was the national executing partner. At the district level, the main partner was the District Fisheries Office.
