BookletEvaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Land Management in the Soda Saline-alkaline Wetlands Agropastoral Landscapes in the Western Area of the Jilin Province"
Project code: GCP/CPR/048/GFF - GEF ID 4632
2024Also available in:
No results found.The project proved to be highly consistent with the priorities of FAO and the government, and designed to meet the needs of the beneficiaries. The project effectively adopted an inclusive co-creation approach to foster adoption of sustainable land and water management and development of innovative agrobiodiversity conservation practices. The design was ambitious but interventions were well targeted. There has been substantial progress towards long-term impact, viewed by stakeholders as largely attributable to the project. Changes made by the project to policies, plans, legal provisions and regulations increase the likelihood of long-term, sustainable impacts, and there was extensive evidence found in positive changes in field-level practices by farmers and wetland managers. The project had high additionality, facilitating a unified cross-sectoral approach to deliver a suite of soil, water, environmental and socioeconomic benefits that are unlikely to have occurred without the support of the Global Environment Facility. -

Book (series)Evaluation reportMid-term evaluation of “Securing Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use in China's Dongting Lake Protected Areas”
GCP/CPR/043/GFF
2019Also available in:
No results found.The Dongting Wetlands is China’s second-largest freshwater lake and one of the 200 key global ecozones. Its high biodiversity serves as an important ecosystem for over 120 bird species and many endangered species. It plays an important socioeconomic role in the area as nearly 16 million people live around the lake. Despite the importance of the wetlands, the services it provides are increasingly at risk. Loss of habitat arising from sector conflicts and economic interests of local farmers and fishers has resulted in a decline in wildlife populations and in some cases entire species. FAO intervened to secure the conservation of biodiversity in the area through strengthening existing management efforts and promoting long-term sustainable development. Activities such as hunting, fishing, planting and reclamation have been stopped and most policy level outcome targets for biodiversity have been reached. The mid-term evaluation makes recommendations for the second half of the project, with a particular focus on knowledge management. It recommends a systematic approach to sharing good practices and technical support with learning facilities across the various project sites. GCP/CPR/043/GFF GEF ID: 4356

DocumentNormative documentISPM 15. Regulation of wood packaging material in international trade
Adopted 2018
2019This standard describes phytosanitary measures that reduce the risk of introduction and spread of quarantine pests associated with the movement in international trade of wood packaging material made from raw wood. Wood packaging material covered by this standard includes dunnage but excludes wood packaging made from wood processed in such a way that it is free from pests (e.g. plywood). The phytosanitary measures described in this standard are not intended to provide ongoing protection from contaminating pests or other organisms.
