    The project’s objective was “to build resilience and reduce the vulnerability to climate change of the marine fisheries and mariculture sectors in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) through implementation of adaptation strategies”. The recommendations are around: involvement of FAO Country Offices in regional projects to facilitate transfer of activities; funding prioritization after no-cost extensions; institutionalization of the project; and management of joint project budgets. The key lessons learned were on challenges of implementing joint projects in countries with different political economies, importance of national working groups in the coordination of national climate change activities, need to train country coordinators in project and budget management, monitoring and evaluation, communications, and the importance of embedding project into focal ministries/departments for sustainable transitions.

    The evaluation found that RECLIMA continues to be strategically aligned to national priorities and responds to the adaptation and resilience needs of producers. However, some systemic limits to achieving the desired paradigm shift were identified due to the multi-causal complexity of the target populations’ vulnerability. The project made significant progress in operationalizing farmer field schools. The evaluation identified some challenges in areas of institutional coordination and communication with national partners, along with the need to continue strengthening the capacities of the various actors involved in project implementation. The project’s monitoring and evaluation system was found to generate information that is being used for timely decision-making. However, key challenges identified include addressing the increased information flow anticipated in the second half of the project, making relevant information more readily available to implementing partners, and including a specific monitoring and follow-up plan for restoration actions. The project took the necessary steps to comply with GCF and FAO social and environmental standards.
