Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Biodiversity conservation and sustainable use in five macroregions to improve human nutrition”
Project code: GCP/BOL/046/GFF – GEF ID: 4577
2023Also available in:
No results found.The objectives of this project were: keeping agrobiodiversity in situ in five macro-ecoregions and improving the livelihoods of local populations; and managing and taking advantage of agrobiodiversity to sustainably improve food and nutritional security with improved access of Indigenous populations and local communities to nutritional and diversified diets. Some of the highlighted best practices were: the recovery of ancestral knowledge; encouraging the valuing of agrobiodiversity (the promotion of conservation and sustainable use of resources) and food security; the active participation of Indigenous Peoples in the project; and the project contribution to helping close gender gaps. To ensure projects’ sustainability, coordination between the various government agencies with competence in the issue of agrobiodiversity must be encouraged and maintained. -
ProjectPromoting Agrobiodiversity Conservation and its Sustainable use in Traditional Agroecosystems of the Philippines - GCP/PHI/062/GFF 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The undervaluation and inadequate recognition of traditional crop varieties in the Philippines pose challenges that hinder the nation from fully harnessing the significant nutritional, cultural and ecological value they offer. By enhancing, expanding and sustaining dynamic conservation practices, the project aimed to promote globally significant agrobiodiversity in traditional agroecosystems of the Philippines. The project was initially piloted in 17 barangaysacross Ifugao province and Lake Sebu and later expanded to include additional barangays. Primarily benefiting Indigenous Peoples' communities, the project consisted of three key components: mainstreaming agrobiodiversity considerations into policy and institutional frameworks, conducting pilot activities for dynamic conservation practices and disseminating information for scaling up and monitoring and evaluation. The project succeeded in transforming land into traditional agroecosystems, developing and activating policy instruments, delivering capacity building in conservation and enterprise activities as well as in the characterization of traditional varieties, creating agrobiodiversity-based products, establishing community seed banks. The project also facilitated the establishment of community-based organizations, documented Locally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems and contributed to local knowledge and good practices in agrobiodiversity conservation. Overall, the project has made significant strides in mainstreaming the conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity for ensuring food security, improved livelihoods and resilient ecosystems in the Philippines. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Sustainable cropland and forest management in priority agro-ecosystems of Myanmar”
Project code: GCP/MYA/017/GFF - GEF ID: 5123 - FAO Project ID: 618969
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to build the capacity of farming and forestry stakeholders to mitigate climate change and improve land conditions by adopting climate-smart agriculture and sustainable forest management policies and practices. Its geographical focus was five townships in three priority agroecosystem zones: Ayeyarwady Delta, Central Dry Zone, and an upland, shifting cultivation zone. There were two executing partners of equal status: the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environmental Conservation and the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Irrigation. The project maintained its alignment with stakeholder priorities despite some major changes that occurred between the project’s initial design and the terminal evaluation. Effectiveness overall was moderately satisfactory, with a mixed picture in achieving outputs and outcomes, and major hindrances stemming from COVID-19 and the political emergency rule. Recommendations included: future similar projects should have a bridging phase in order to plan a follow-up project for broader implementation; and centralized monitoring systems should be created along with exit strategies. Available institutional resource bases must account for the replication and scalability of project-piloted approaches and models – and avoid “development islands”.
