    The terminal evaluation report for the FAO-GEF 5 project provides a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the project's relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability. Drawing upon a wealth of data, including project documents, stakeholder interviews and field visits, this report evaluates the project's objectives against the actual results achieved. It offers a detailed examination of the project results and identifies key strengths and weaknesses, key lessons learned, factors that contributed to realization of project results as well as potential areas for improvement. The participatory forest management project was implemented through a partnership between FAO, the Kenya Forest Service, the Kenyan Wildlife Service, Samburu County Government, Kenya Forestry Research Institute, Community Forest Associations and the Suyian Trust. The evaluation assesses the extent to which the project’s global environmental objective (strengthen biodiversity conservation and enhance carbon sequestration) and development objective (improve livelihoods of communities from dryland forest-based products and services) were realized.

    This report is the result of the Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) of Project GCP/BRA/079/GEF, “Strengthening National Policy and Knowledge Frameworks in Support of Sustainable Management of Brazil’s Forest” also called the GEF NFI Support Project. In this report it is also referred to as Project BRA 079. The project was signed by the parties in August 2011 and is jointly funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the Brazilian Government. Implementation of the project is being handled by t he Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO/ONU) and execution is being performed by the Brazilian Forest Service (BFS), a body run by the Ministry of the Environment. The aim of the MTE is to analyse the project’s performance between 2011 and 2014.

    Community-level socio-ecological vulnerability assessments in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem 2015
    Also available in:

    Climate change is considered one of the most critical challenges facing the planet and humankind. It poses a key threat to marine ecosystems and fisheries resources as well as communities that depend on these systems for food and livelihoods. Understanding the vulnerability of these socio-ecological systems to climate change, and their capacity to adapt, has become the focus of several climate change and fisheries projects and programmes in recent years and, increasingly, researchers and practit ioners recognise that actions supporting adaptive capacity building have to be grounded in local needs and experiences and thus vulnerability assessments should be participatory and inclusive. A good understanding of local vulnerabilities, including local perceptions of the multiple drivers of change, historic and customary adaptation strategies, and existing capacity within local institutions and amongst individuals, should be used as building blocks for strengthening resilience and identifying appropriate adaptation strategies. Participatory vulnerability assessment is an approach that facilitates better understanding of the extent to which a socio-ecological system (e.g. coastal fishery system) is susceptible to various socio-ecological changes (including the effects of climate change) and the system’s capacity to cope with and adapt to these changes from the viewpoint of the local communities. This analysis will help countries, partner agencies and their staff, researchers and fish eries professionals in understanding how to define and measure vulnerability within complex fisheries systems, using perceptions-based approaches within fishing communities in the Benguela Current region (Angola, Namibia, South Africa) as an example. Ultimately, the scope of this work is to improve resilience of fisheries systems and dependent communities to multiple drivers of change including climate change and ocean acidification.
