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:
No results found.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. -

Socio-economic and Production Systems Study - 1997
1997Also available in:
No results found.In preparing an investment project, development strategies and project components are defined and revisited during project formulation through a consultative process that often includes Socio-economic and Production Systems Studies. These studies are conducted to develop an appreciation of the situation in which the intended beneficiaries live, and their perceptions of their problems, needs and priorities. The main objective of the present study was to increase the understanding of the character istics of the physical resources, the farming systems and the communities concerned by the project in Guyana, and to identify and describe the farmers' needs and priorities. This survey was undertaken with the view to determine mechanisms for the sustainable rehabilitation of the drainage and irrigation system involving farmer participation and to focus the project activities for poverty alleviation purposes. -
Book (stand-alone)Utilization of Small Water Bodies for Aquaculture and Fisheries. Aquaculture for Local Community Development Programme: Southern African Development Community. Project findings and recommendations 1999
Also available in:
No results found.In rural areas of Africa, animal protein is often in short supply and therefore lacking in the diet. Fish is a high-protein and highly appreciated food item, but fresh fish is frequently difficult to obtain. The importance of fish and other aquatic products is widely recognized, and development programmes have devoted much effort to stimulating increased production of these products. Many of these efforts have targeted aquaculture, including culture-based fisheries, as a means of increasing fish availability.
