Synopsis (short abstract) This report outlines the main outcomes, conclusions, recommendations and lessons learned from the evaluation of the project "Piloting of an ecosystem-based approach to living aquatic resources management in Uruguay" (GCP/URU/030/GFF). This project was executed by the National Aquatic Resource Authority (DINARA), funded mainly by the Global Environmental Facility (GEF), and co-funded by the National and Local Governments, and other private and public institutions in Uruguay. The Food and Agricult ure Organization of the United Nations (FAO) administered the project and provided technical backstopping. The project's original time-frame was 3 years, its commencement date was April, 1, 2010 and its original termination date was March 31, 2013, having been extended to March 31, 2014.

    Terminal evaluation of the project "Mainstreaming ecosystem-based approaches to climate-resilient rural livelihoods in vulnerable rural areas through the farmer field school methodology
    Project code: GCP/SEN/065/LDF GEF ID: 5503

    This terminal evaluation covers the project "Mainstreaming ecosystem-based approaches to climate-resilient rural livelihoods in vulnerable rural areas through the farmer field school (FFS) methodology", funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The overall performance of the project is moderately satisfactory. The project is relevant in its response to climate change adaptation needs in Senegal. It is coherent in its design and is in phase with the Plan Senegal Emergent (PSE). The evaluation found that the project has contributed to capacity building of institutional actors and farmers organizations on climate change adaptation, resilience and gender equity. Notable results include: capacity building of technicians, relay producers, farmers and agro-pastoralists on good practices of adaptation to climate change, through the field-school approach; the establishment of a climate resilience fund that has allowed to finance micro-projects in rural area; the dissemination of agro-climatic information; trainings on adapted climate change practices at the farmfer field school (FFS) and agropastoral field school (APFS) level.

    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”
    Project code: GCP/GLO/366/GFF GEF ID: 4660

    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.

    Kyrgyzstan is one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of climate change in Central Asia It is affected by drought, land and mudslides while flooding events and river banks erosion are set to increase in frequency and intensity Recurrent extreme weather events and marked changes in microclimate are already being observed with particular magnitude in target areas Forests and pastures are among the most sensitive resources being impacted by climate change and reduced productivity of low altitude pastures and decreased resilience of forest ecosystem are increasing the vulnerability of communities and negatively impacting rural livelihoods Climate change, coupled with unsustainable management of natural resources, threatens both key ecosystems and Kyrgyzstan’s cultural heritage and development opportunities The Government of Kyrgyzstan is developing plans and programmes to tackle climate change however, significant resources are needed to implement them Against this background, the Government requested that FAO provide technical assistance to design and start up a Green Climate Fund ( funded investment project aimed at increasing mitigation, climate resilience and low emission sustainable development as well as preparing a funding proposal for the project, and strengthening stakeholder capacity to implement it.
