BookletEvaluation reportEvaluation of the project “Sawlog Production Grant Scheme Phase III”
Project code: GCP/UGA/047/EC
2024Also available in:
No results found.The final evaluation of the Sawlog Production Grant Scheme Phase III (SPGS III) project, funded by the European Union and implemented by FAO in Uganda, involved interviews with the implementation team, nursery operators, forest contractors, tree planters having benefited from the project, and various institutions involved. The project provided technical and financial support to private tree growers to establish and maintain commercial plantations to acceptable national standards and led to the certification of private nursery operators and forest contractors with the aim of ensuring high-quality inputs and management of forest plantations. In so doing, the SPGS has helped set and enforce quality standards in plantation forestry and contributed to growth in rural economies. However, market opportunities will be a key determinant of sustainability for tree growers, and it was noted that there was limited capacity developed in the field of value addition and commercialization. -

BookletCorporate general interestEvaluation of the project "Food and Nutrition Security Enhancement in Nepal"
Evaluation of the Technical Assistance model, Project code: UTF/NEP/077/NEP
2025Also available in:
No results found.This evaluation focused on the FAO technical assistance (TA) contribution to a large GAFSP funded agriculture and nutrition programme in Nepal. The project aimed to promote climate-sensitive agriculture, improve knowledge and skills in extension workers and 65 000 participating households, and improve linkages to value chains. The TA function was largely successful in building technical capacity, knowledge sharing, and community engagement through trained staff, quality learning materials, and expanded field school programs, with high female participation. there were some constraints in fragmented coordination and limited integration with local governance structures, affecting sustainability potential. Recommendations were made for similar future investments which focused on stronger integration with Local Governance Structures; improvements in operational efficiency and responsiveness; and better incorporation of inclusion and sustainability mechanisms. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of five FAO projects funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency in Cameroon, Chad, Mali and the Niger
OSRO/CMR/701/SWE - OSRO/MLI/701/SWE - OSRO/MLI/804/SWE - OSRO/NER/701/SWE - OSRO/CHD/701/SWE
2022Also available in:
The evaluation seeks to contribute to organization-wide learning by drawing lessons from the multi-year funded resilience projects implemented in the Sahel and Cameroon and making recommendations for future programming. FAO intervened in these countries to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable households affected by the crisis in the Sahel through promoting sustainable livelihood. The evaluation found that the projects contributed to an improvement in animal and agricultural production and strengthened social cohesion among the different communities. The evaluation also found that a multi-year funding mechanism is flexible and allows a transition from a humanitarian to a development approach if used efficiently. In its future programming, FAO should promote an integrated approach, targeting the same beneficiaries and enabling them to engage in productive activities and sustainable natural resource management. In fragile and emergency contexts, FAO should adapt its tools and procedures for more flexibility and adaptive management. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Developing Organizational Capacity for Ecosystem Stewardship and Livelihoods in Caribbean Small-Scale Fisheries" (StewardFish)
Project code: GCP/SLC/211/GFF - GEF ID: 9720
2022Also available in:
No results found.The project “Developing Organizational Capacity for Ecosystem Stewardship and Livelihoods in Caribbean Small-Scale Fisheries” (StewardFish) aimed to support the implementation of the Caribbean and North Brazil Shelf Large Marine Ecosystems initiatives in seven countries of the Caribbean (Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines) and implemented by five Caribbean regional entities. It aimed to empower fisherfolk throughout the fisheries value chains to engage in resource management, decision-making processes and sustainable livelihoods, with strengthened institutional support at all levels. The findings and conclusions of the terminal evaluations highlight the effectiveness of the project's capacity building activities, the platform for inter-agency collaboration, and the strengthening of legal and policy frameworks. Given the short time frame of the projects, as well as the interruptions due to the COVID-19, a number of recommendations are made in order to sustain the results achieved thus far, but which still require investment.
