Synopsis (short abstract) This mid-term evaluation of the "REDD+ Payments for Results in Chile for the Period 2014-2016" project concludes that the project is progressing adequately toward its objectives, with some adjustments and a longer implementation period. The project highlights the strength of its governance models and adaptive management as key elements for its effectiveness. Regarding challenges, it highlights the need to simplify procedures and protocols in the areas of safeguards and monitoring, reporting, and verification, as well as the strengthening of technical capacities. At the territorial level, there is growing awareness of sustainable forest management, although the costs associated with implementing the Benefit Sharing System were higher than expected. The project faces tensions between conservation and livelihoods, and there is room to move toward more transformative approaches, consolidating and articulating good practices in the areas of safeguards, cross-cutting approaches, and strategies for generating socioeconomic co-benefits. The evaluation recommendations include extending the project's timeframe, adjusting targets, promoting integrated approaches, and strengthening monitoring and reporting systems.
