    Evaluation report
    Terminal evaluation of the project “Securing the Future of Global Agriculture in the face of climate change by conserving the Genetic Diversity of the Traditional Agroecosystems of Mexico”
    Project code: GCP/MEX/305/GFF - GEF ID: 9380
    2024
    Also available in:
    The project "Securing the Future of World Agriculture in the face of climate change by conserving the Genetic Diversity of the Traditional Ecosystems of Mexico”, executed between 2018 and 2023 by the National Commission for Knowledge and Use of Biodiversity (CONABIO), aimed to ensure the conservation and sustainable use of agrobiodiversity in Mexico. The evaluation results highlight both the project`s high relevance to national and global priorities by its contribution to the supply of nutritious food, genetic diversity conservation, and resilient production systems in the face of climate change; and its coherence, which fostered internal and external collaborative relationships. Furthermore, achievements in knowledge availability, capacity development, inter-institutional coordination, and communication strategies are also noteworthy. Recommendations underscore joint efforts to ensure sustainability, suggesting the establishment of a joint working group between CONABIO and FAO to develop a strategy for institutionalizing project results.

    SHARP: Integrating a traditional survey with participatory self-evaluation and learning for climate change resilience assessment 2016
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    Climate change, population growth and social conflict have left many farmers and pastoralists in sub-Saharan Africa at near constant crisis conditions. Participatory climate resilience assessments can help farmer and pastoralist communities to identify, measure and prioritize actions to improve the climate resilience of their agricultural systems. SHARP has been developed as a dual-purpose tool, employing participatory methods to help farmers and pastoralists to discuss and understand threats an d opportunities, and to prioritize individual and collective actions aimed at improving overall resilience. Additionally, SHARP provides government and programme management with qualitative and quantitative information on a wide variety of important economic and development factors. The development of SHARP faces many challenges inherent to assessing resilience in terms of the complex nature and wide-reaching impacts of climate change. SHARP presents a unique assessment that combines resilience literature and indicators with a participatory self-assessment from the farmers and pastoralists.
