Synopsis (short abstract) The project “Sustainable management of bycatch in Latin America and Caribbean trawl fisheries” was financed by GEF, implemented and executed by FAO. With an overall evaluation rating of Highly Satisfactory, the assessment has identified notable results in strengthening regional collaboration, improving legal frameworks and co-management mechanisms; successful trials of bycatch reduction devices; and building capacity, including of women. The global environment objective (GEO) and the project development objective (PDO) were partially achieved, reflecting the over-ambitiousness of the design. However, the enabling environment created, and the transformational results will contribute towards achievement of these objectives in the long-term. Strategic partnerships and the high level of stakeholder engagement including the private sector contributed to successful delivery. Recommendations include actions to be taken by the project partners and stakeholders to build on the project results to achieve sustainable, long-term impact; thematic areas for follow-up projects; more realistic project objectives and improvement in institutional arrangements and administrative procedures for future projects; sustaining partnerships; enhancing livelihoods and empowerment of women fish workers; and better communication and knowledge management.

    Symbole du projet: GCP/RAF/837/GFF - FEM ID: 9126

    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).

    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

    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
