Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Promoting climate-smart livestock management in the Dominican Republic”
Project code: GCP/DOM/019/GFF - GEF ID: 10054
2024Also available in:
The project "Promoting Climate-Smart Livestock in the Dominican Republic", implemented between June 2018 and November 2022, has had the objective of "Mitigating climate change and restoring degraded lands through the promotion of climate-smart practices in the livestock sector." The evaluation estimates that, as a result of the implementation of the project, the convenience and importance of promoting climate-smart livestock practices as effective tools for mitigation and adaptation to climate change were installed on the government's climate and agricultural agenda. In addition, the project contributed to generating evidence on the positive effects that certain livestock practices have on climate change mitigation and adaptation and on the restoration of degraded lands. Finally, the contribution to the development of individual and institutional capacities in the Dominican State, technology transfer and adoption of good practices of beneficiary producers, among other achievements, is highlighted. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “AVACLIM: agroecology, ensuring food security and sustainable livelihoods while mitigating climate change and restoring land in dryland regions”
Project code: GCP/GLO/927/GFF - GEF ID: 9993

No results found.The project aims to mainstream agroecology in drylands as a tool to address food insecurity, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and restore degraded land. Launched in October 2019, it was led by the Centre for Actions and International Achievements in partnership with the Environmental Monitoring Group, the Research Institute for Development, Both ENDS, and seven national organizations from Brazil, Morocco, Senegal, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Ethiopia and India. The project was found to be entirely relevant and coherent with national and global priorities in the fields of agricultural development, food security, natural resources preservation and climate change response. Overall, the strong integration of project activities into existing global and national dynamics on agroecology strengthened project effectiveness. It is likely that some of the achieved results will continue after project closure, but others require additional financial resources. -

No results found.In Mongolia, the agriculture sector contributed 13 3 percent of gross domestic product ( in 2017 the second largest sector following the mining sector The contribution of the livestock sector to the agriculture GDP was 88 percent Approximately 40 percent of the work force directly depends on the livestock sector and the sector is dominated by an extensive livestock production system dependent on access to grasslands and thus inherently vulnerable to climatic and natural resource management risks and climate change It has been estimated that average annual temperature in Mongolia increased two fold between 1940 and 2013 around three times the global average Climate change has a negative impact on animal productivity, animal health, biodiversity, the quality and amount of feed supply, and the carrying capacity of pastures It has also led to the outbreak of new and re emerging livestock diseases, and a change in disease patterns The absence of policy or market based mechanisms to control livestock numbers and a lack of awareness regarding rangeland degradation has led to increasing herd sizes, producing acute limitations of forage and increasing desertification In 2020 76 9 percent of Mongolia's territory was affected by desertification Permanent pastures and meadows occupy about 110 5 million ha 71 8 percent of the total territory of Mongolia) 65 percent of this pastureland is already degraded to some extent.
