BookletEvaluation of the project “Poverty, Reforestation, Energy and Climate Change"
Mid-term report, project code: GCP/PAR/020/GCF
2024Also available in:
No results found.This is the mid-term report of the evaluation of the project “Poverty, Reforestation, Energy, and Climate Change” (PROEZA), co-implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Paraguayan government institutions, and funded by the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The project’s main objective is to improve the resilience of poor and extreme poor households vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and to increase the forest cover in environmentally sensitive areas of Eastern Paraguay. This report presents an assessment of the project’s design and progress towards established objectives. The evaluation answers questions framed starting from the project’s theory of change. Methods involved desk reviews, field visits, interviews to FAO and non-FAO stakeholders, focus group discussions with beneficiaries and a comparative analysis of the emissions reduction calculation. Up to October 2023, PROEZA planted 700 hectares, involving 800 families and designed a regulatory proposal that would create a single window for forestry investment procedures. The evaluation framed four recommendations to ensure better execution, still low at 5 percent at the time of the evaluation. Recommendations entail addressing design deficiencies, strengthening leadership, establishing an exit strategy, and reviewing the Environmental and Social Management Framework. -

ProjectPlanning National Land and Forest Action to Mitigate Climate Change and Reduce Poverty in Equatorial Guinea - UNJP/EQG/010/UNJ 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Equatorial Guinea has a forest cover estimated at 2.5 million hectares, representing more than 90 percent of the national surface area. Despite this extensive cover, the estimated rates of forest loss (deforestation plus forest degradation) show a worrying upward trend, particularly for forest degradation. In line with its international and regional commitments, in 2012 Equatorial Guinea started its national process of Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation, and the role of conservation, sustainable management and enhancement of forest carbon stocks (REDD+). This project significantly contributed to moving forward the national REDD+ progress, engaging multiple actors in the fight against climate change. In order to address the causes of deforestation and forest degradation, and promote sustainable development, Equatorial Guinea decided to develop a National REDD+ Investment Plan.
