Book (stand-alone)Community-Based Mangrove Rehabilitation and Ecotourism Development and Management in the Red Sea Coast, Egypt
Rehabilitation, Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Mangroves in Egypt
2004Also available in:
No results found.Mangroves produce a number of very valuable ecological benefits. However, these benefits are largely intangible and do not provide income or revenue for the managers of the mangroves or for other stakeholders living in and around them. Therefore, they are often considered as “wasteland” rather than as highly prized ecosystems. In order to capture the interest and understanding of all stakeholders in and around mangroves, it is important to try to convert some of this intangible ecological v alue into a monetary value. One way in which this can be done is through the development of ecotourism in the mangroves. Ecotourism can provide considerable benefits to the environment, local stakeholders, visitors to the mangroves and the agencies responsible for the management of the mangroves. With thorough planning and careful consideration of the economic, environmental and cultural aspects of such developments, ecotourism can contribute to conservation, education, resource protection and t he involvement and empowerment of local people. In addition to the development of ecotourism, the development of other income generating activities in and around mangroves can also contribute to the protection of the mangroves and improve the lives of local stakeholders. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Community-based Sustainable Dryland Forest Management
Project code: GCP/GAM/031/GFF
2024Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the key findings, conclusions and recommendations of the terminal evaluation of the “Community-based Dryland Sustainable Forest Management Project” (GCP/GAM/031/GFF) funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The evaluation found that the project was, generally, satisfactorily implemented to achieve its objective to “reduce forest degradation in the northern part of the Gambia through the strengthening and expansion of community-forestry and implementation of sustainable forest management practices”. However, implementation faced many challenges/constraints including the death of the first Project Coordinator, the advent of COVID-19, and procurement and administrative delays which necessitated a no-cost extension of the project. The project has been satisfactorily implemented with positive outcomes, such as improved forest management and entrepreneurship knowledge and skills development of target communities for improved livelihoods. -
Book (series)Final evaluation of the project “Integrated management of mangrove and associated wetlands and coastal forest ecosystems in the Republic of the Congo”
GCP/PRC/007/GFF
2019Also available in:
The project "Integrated management of mangroves and associated wetlands and coastal forest ecosystems in the Republic of the Congo" was implemented between July 2013 and December 2017 by the Government of the Republic of the Congo and FAO. The main phase of the final evaluation, which took place between July and August 2017, covered all the activities carried out under the different components. The evaluation recognized the relevance of the intervention given by its effort to develop and promote a community-based forest management system in the Congo. The project contributed to strengthening the national legislative and institutional framework on mangrove ecosystems, yet additional efforts are still necessary to mobilize the resources needed to implement the strategy and the plan developed as part of the project. At the time of the evaluation, no concrete activities had been implemented at community level, nevertheless the project contributed to having good awareness among communities on the importance of mangrove ecosystems.
