    Terminal evaluation of the project "Participatory assessment of land degradation and sustainable land management in grassland and pastoral systems

    The project ‘Participatory assessment of land degradation and sustainable land management in grassland and pastoral systems’ was implemented from 2017 to 2021 in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, the Niger, and Uruguay. The project successfully developed and tested a participatory rangeland and grassland assessment methodology (PRAGA); providing a practical tool for collecting data and information on rangeland and grassland health, thereby contributing to enable informed decision-making for sustainable rangeland and grassland management – thus aligning with UNCCD and SDG 15 (Life on Land). The evaluation provides five recommendations: i) develop strategies for facilitating the use by national stakeholders of remote sensing and GIS; ii) strengthen the gender dimension; iii) refine and promote PRAGA as a tool for monitoring of national CBD and UNFCCC commitments; iv) integrate more PRAGA assessments in interventions that invest in tangible rangeland management improvements; and v) establish an institutional home in FAO for rangeland and grassland management.

    Final evaluation of the project "Strengthening resilience to climate change through integrated agricultural and pastoral management in the Sahelian zone in the framework of Mali's sustainable land management approach
    Project code: GCP/MLI/038/LDF GEF ID: 4822

    Mali is currently facing many challenges due to climate change that is significantly affecting all communities in the country, and agricultural producers in particular. In order to meet these climate challenges, the project aimed at building the capacities of agro-pastoralists in the Banamba, Kita and Niono districts to help them cope with climate change. With the exception of gender, the project strategy is sound and it reached the objective to boost the capacity of Mali's agro-pastoral activities to cope with climate change. A functional interactive community chat created by the project, as well as the Village Savings and Loan Associations set-up, are some of the elements that strengthen the resilience of agro-pastoralists and render project achievements more sustainable.

    Terminal evaluation of the project “Integrating climate resilience into agricultural and agropastoral production systems through soil fertility management in key productive and vulnerable areas using the Farmer Field School approach”

    In Angola available projections agree that smallholder farmers would have severe impacts from climate change given the rainfall dependence of most staple crops, combined with unsustainable agricultural practices and prevalent soil erosion. This report presents the results of the evaluation of the IRCEA project which was implemented to strengthen the climate resilience of agropastoral systems in vulnerable areas of Bié, Huambo, Malanje and Huíla provinces. The project was relevant to the resilience of target beneficiaries and to the government's priority needs. Its effectiveness and efficiency were moderately satisfactory due to several factors highlighted in the report. Though the project sustainability was moderately unlikely, the project created positive environmental and social effects and satisfactorily integrated and empowered women FFS members. The report provides recommendations to FAO on the support it should provide to the government to ensure better integration of the FFS model and CCA/SLM tools in future similar projects and to ensure the management of several project performance factors.
