    Terminal evaluation of the areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) Tuna project, part of the "Global sustainable fisheries management and biodiversity conservation in ABNJ"

    The marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) comprise 40 percent of the earth’s surface, covering 64 percent of the surface of the ocean and 95 percent of its volume. The Common Oceans ABNJ Programme (2014-2019) was implemented by FAO as a concerted effort to bring stakeholders to work together to manage and conserve the world’s common oceans. The ABNJ Tuna project, one component of the Common Oceans ABNJ Programme, promoted important transformational changes in the management practices of tuna fisheries, improving their sustainability, strengthening Marine Stewardship Council capabilities of tuna regional fisheries management organizations (t-RFMOs) and their members, and significantly reducing their impact on biodiversity. The project generated knowledge but lacked a structured mechanism and strategy to harvest and disseminate it. Similarly to the programme level evaluation report, the programmatic approach component, the partnership framework, as well as how to foster synergies among projects and capitalization of knowledge management should be strengthened.

    Terminal evaluation of the areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) Deep-Sea project, part of the “Sustainable fisheries management and biodiversity conservation of deep-sea living marine resources and ecosystems in ABNJ”

    The marine areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ) comprises 40 percent of the earth’s surface, it covers 64 percent of the surface of the ocean and 95 percent of its volume. The Common Oceans ABNJ Program (2014-2019) was implemented by FAO as a concerted effort to bring various stakeholders to work together to manage and conserve the world’s common oceans. The ABNJ Deep-Sea project, one component of the Common Oceans ABNJ Program, was of great assistance to newly-formed regional fisheries management organization and arrangements (RFMO/As), as well as some long-standing regional fisheries. The project showed positive results in safeguarding vulnerable marine ecosystems, strengthening monitoring, control and surveillance to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing, mitigating bycatch mortality trends, and building awareness of cross-sectoral aspects in effective governance of ABNJ. Through its cooperation with RFMOs, the project has, to some extent, contributed to minimize the negative impacts of bycatch. Results achieved should be capitalized on and upscaled in a second phase.

    Evaluation report
    Evaluación de medio término del proyecto “Manejo integrado de espacios marinos y costeros de alto valor para la biodiversidad en el Ecuador continental”
    Código de proyecto: GCP/ECU/084/GFF Código FMAM: 4770
    2020
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    El área continental ecuatoriana se caracteriza por una alta diversidad de ecosistemas marinos y costeros, incluyendo playas de anidación de cuatro especies de tortugas marinas y extensas zonas de manglares que brindan bienes y servicios ecosistémicos. El proyecto, implementado por la FAO de 2016 a 2020, busca superar las principales amenazas que afectan a la diversidad biológica marina y costera y al mismo tiempo contribuir a mejorar los medios de vida de las personas que habitan en estas áreas. El proyecto está contribuyendo significativamente a este último objetivo mediante la elaboración de planes de manejo de pesca y proyectos de desarrollo productivo. Sin embargo, debería continuar con sus esfuerzos a fin de implementar una estrategia alternativa ante la imposibilidad de crear nuevas áreas protegidas e incorporar el enfoque del Manejo Costero Integrado en la gestión costera de los gobiernos locales.

    Emergency response
    Evaluation of the project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" - Phase I
    OSRO/BKF/801/SWE
    2022
    Also available in:
    The project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" is financed by the Swedish International Development Agency. FAO implemented the project in partnership with the Government of Burkina Faso through the Ministry for Agriculture, Hydro-agricultural Development and Mechanisation. The project seeks to improve vulnerable populations’ access to food and to means of food production. This first phase of the evaluation focused on suggesting improvements to the project over the rest of its implementation period, and more particularly improvements as pertaining to relevance, efficiency and efficacy of the project. The implementation of these recommendations should allow the project and more generally FAO, the FAO Office in Burkina Faso and the Government, to close a project that has achieved its objectives

    Évaluation à mi-parcours du projet «Offrir des avantages environnementaux, sociaux et économiques durables en Afrique de l’Ouest grâce à une bonne gouvernance, des incitations correctes et l’innovation»
    Symbole du projet: GCP/RAF/837/GFF - FEM ID: 9126
    2021
    Also available in:
    La pêche côtière en Afrique de l’Ouest est essentielle pour fournir nourriture et emplois, appuyer les moyens d’existence des hommes et des femmes et générer des revenus. L’objectif général du projet « Offrir des avantages environnementaux, sociaux et économiques durables en Afrique de l’Ouest grâce à une bonne gouvernance, des incitations correctes et l’innovation » est de renforcer la gouvernance, la gestion et les chaînes de valeur par la mise en œuvre d’une approche écosystémique des pêches, d’outils internationaux pertinents et de partenariats innovants en matière de gouvernance en Côte d’Ivoire, au Cabo Verde et au Sénégal. Dans l'ensemble, l'évaluation à mi-parcours a donné une note « relativement satisfaisante » au projet. L’évaluation a recommandé des améliorations particulièrement concernant : la stratégie de recrutement et d’organisation du personnel, le co-financement, le cadre de résultats, et le suivi des activités. La version en langue originale du rapport (en français) prévaut sur la traduction (en anglais).
