Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project “Dynamic Conservation and Sustainable Use of Agricultural Biodiversity to ensure Food Security and Ecosystems Services and Resiliency”
Project code: GCP/PHI/062/GFF - GEF ID: 5549
2023Also available in:
No results found.This project supports the Government of the Philippines in efforts to conserve the country’s globally important agrobiodiversity and traditional agroecosystems. The project comprised three interlinked components: mainstreaming agrobiodiversity into policy and legal frameworks; piloting activities to expand dynamic conservation practices in three pilot communities; and disseminating learning and preparing for scaling up. The project aligned strongly with Philippines Government, FAO and GEF priorities, and impressive progress was made on policy objectives. There was less progress in enhancing dynamic conservation practices for agrobiodiversity in the pilot communities. Recommendations focused on developing a successful exit strategy, capturing experience effectively, and carrying out a systems review for future FAO-supported agrobiodiversity projects. -
