Evaluation Highlights
2023Also available in:
No results found.The Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) to Support Forest Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods project, supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), sought to promote biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation in the Miombo forest ecosystem. It aimed to strengthen the existing revenue sharing mechanism (RSM) that supports the sustainable use and conservation of forests and wildlife and improves local livelihoods. The terminal evaluation covered almost the entire original implementation period and had a dual purpose of accountability and learning, making it summative. The evaluation covered the Zambezia Province districts where project activities were implemented. -

No results found.The Payments for Ecosystem Services to Support Forest Conservation and Sustainable Livelihoods project, supported by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), sought to promote biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation in the Miombo forest ecosystem. It aimed to strengthen the existing revenue sharing mechanism (RSM) that supports the sustainable use and conservation of forests and wildlife, and improves local livelihoods in the Zambezia Province of Mozambique. Overall, the results achieved can lead to progress in enabling the environment, changing legal and regulatory frameworks, having communities adopt more sustainable practices and contributing to the preservation of biodiversity – especially in reducing deforestation.Key recommendations involve: flagging the most promising communities for national authorities as potential grant applicants under the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation in Developing Countries (REDD+) programmes; preparing an exit plan for the four districts that benefit from the project to ensure minimum technical follow-up in the supported communities; and systematizing the approach, experience and good results achieved with the practices of the beekeeping and savings and credit groups to reinforce the project’s learning dimension. -
ProjectSupporting the Transition to Sustainable Agriculture through Harmonized Incentives for Ecosystem Services - GCP/GLO/660/MUL 2020
Also available in:
No results found.The project worked towards the achievement of two inter related outcomes, the integration of IES into FAO global and regional work programmes and the promotion of IES in discussions on international policy. Through the delivery of training sessions, organization of events and contribution to publications, the project actively engaged with FAO teams to integrate IES into projects under the FAO Major Area of Work on Ecosystem Services and Biodiversity and other relevant workstreams , such as Sustainable Food and Agriculture and the guidance of work under FAO Strategic Objective 2. Likewise, by contributing to the submissions made by key FAO units, as well as the organization of side events, the project supported the integration of IES into the dialogue of FAO Governing Bodies, particularly within the Committee on Agriculture and during FAO’s preparation for the 13th Conference of the Parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity. In addition, to better exemplify the approach and benefits of IES, the “incentives spectrum” was integrated into six FAO publications and an evaluation of IES case studies was conducted to support the development of an online IES toolkit and road map. The project was also responsible for organizing side events at relevant United Nations conventions and international dialogue events, with the broader aim of influencing the debate surrounding agro environmental targets. Additionally, efforts to work directly with national authorities and FAO units in Cambodia, Kenya, Pakistan and Rwanda were undertaken to support the adoption of IES. Finally, events were also organized and FAO projects were formulated to promote private sector investment in IES through the reorganization of public funds into harmonized incentive packages.
