Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureRehabilitating degraded lands and soils prone to wind erosion in the Islamic Republic of Iran 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Benefitting from the financial support of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), FAO in collaboration with the Forest, Range & Watershed Management Organization, is implementing the ‘Rehabilitation of Forest Landscapes and Degraded Land with Particular Attention to Saline Soils and Areas Prone to Wind Erosion’ project in the country to remove key barriers to community-based and integrated Sustainable Land and Forest Management (SLFM). The Organization is focused on (i) strengthening the capacity of local communities and provincial institutions to plan, adopt and evaluate participatory SLFM initiatives at the village and watershed scales; (ii) providing sustainable alternative livelihood options; and (iii) enhancing capacity at the national level to mainstream these approaches into country-wide plans, policies and processes. -
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. -
ProjectFactsheetRehabilitating Forest Landscapes and Degraded Land in the Islamic Republic of Iran through Sustainable Land and Forest Management - GCP/IRA/064/GFF 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Soil erosion from both wind and water as well as soil salinity have caused extensive land degradation in the Islamic Republic of Iran. In addition, an overconsumption of natural resources, water scarcity and ineffective policies and management practices have exacerbated the land degradation and led to a decline in biodiversity. To tackle these issues, this project focused on the promotion of Sustainable Land and Forest Management (SLFM) practices among local communities and institutions. Its design included four main elements: capacity development, participatory planning, policy integration and awareness-raising activities.

Book (series)Programme / project reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Reducing vulnerability and increasing adaptive capacity to respond to impacts of climate change and variability for sustainable livelihoods in agriculture sector in Nepal”
Project code: GCP/NEP/070/LDF GEF ID: 5111
2020Also available in:
No results found.The project’s goal was to support Nepal’s agriculture sector to become climate resilient by promoting urgent and immediate adaptation measures and integration of adaptation priorities outlined in the National Adaptation Programme of Action (NAPA) into agriculture sectorial policies, plans, programmes and local actions. The final evaluation found that the relevant institutional structures in Nepal are now technically capable of incorporating climate change adaptation in agriculture sector decision-making. However, project districts could not benefit from strengthened staff capacity due to scattering of institutional memory caused by staff transfers and relocation in federal, provincial and local governments. Evidence of climate change adaptation related awareness raising and knowledge management activities were apparent in project districts. However, wider dissemination of knowledge and awareness raising products for replication and up-scaling of the project remains yet to be achieved adequately. The project has contributed in economic and social empowerment of most vulnerable Farmer’s Field School group members and specifically the women. However, a robust agriculture sector support mechanism will be required to sustain the impact in future. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the first cluster of FAO’s Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency projects
Cambodia: GCP/CMB/041/CBT – GEF ID: 9837 - Mongolia: GCP/MON/016/CBT – GEF ID: 9834 - Papua New Guinea: GCP/PNG/007/CBT – GEF ID: 9833 - Global-AFOLU: GCP/GLO/880/CBT – GEF ID: 9864

No results found.The Global Environment Facility’s Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency (CBIT) supports developing countries to build institutional and technical capacities to meet the Enhanced Transparency Framework (ETF) requirements. This final evaluation assessed the first cluster of the FAO CBIT projects – national projects in Cambodia, Mongolia and Papua New Guinea, and the global “Agriculture, forestry and other land use” (AFOLU) project. Overall, the evaluation rated the performance of the national CBIT projects under this evaluation as “satisfactory” and that of the Global CBIT-AFOLU project as “highly satisfactory”. Considering the ongoing portfolio of CBIT projects, the evaluation made recommendations for future CBIT projects. Such as: to consider mechanisms and strategies to institutionalize individual learnings and internalize knowledge and practices within and between the ETF-responsible institutions, and to devise knowledge management plans that go beyond communication and information sharing and encompass a detailed analysis of good practices, lessons and mechanisms for institutionalization of knowledge. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Implementation of the National Biosafety Framework in accordance with the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety”
Project code: GCP/SRL/066/GFF - GEF ID: 5720
2024Also available in:
No results found.This project supports the Government of Sri Lanka in efforts to implement a National Biosafety Framework to meet the requirements of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. The project was funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and executed by the Sri Lankan government. The methods used by the Evaluation Team included a desk review, targeted questionnaires, focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, a capacity assessment tool for trainees involved in the project, and field visits. The project was found to be highly relevant to needs and achieved many of its targets. However, sustainability is hampered by the lack of a legal framework and there are significant financial risks after project closure. FAO should host a strategic-level forum with stakeholders to reflect on findings. Further, FAO and the Government of Sri Lanka should develop a new project phase to invest further on capacity building of key stakeholders.
