Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Contribution of sustainable forest management to a low emission and resilient development in Serbia"
Project code: GCP/SRB/002/GFF - GEF ID: 9089
2024Also available in:
No results found.The main objective of the project was the promotion of multifunctional sustainable forest management (SFM) to conserve biodiversity, enhance and conserve carbon stocks, and secure forest ecosystem services in productive forest landscapes. It was designed around three project components: i) an enabling environment for multifunctional SFM; ii) multifunctional forest management; and iii) monitoring and evaluation (M&E) and the dissemination of lessons learned.The project was highly relevant to international and local policy agenda priorities, as it involved the forestry sector and maximized its role in environmental protection and sustainable development. However, project ownership was concentrated among stakeholders from the state forestry sector. Other important private and non-forestry actors were only involved at minor levels. Important outputs on data collection were: the Integrated Forest Inventory System (IFIS) and the National Forest Inventory (NFI), both important contributions to SFM in Serbia. However, the evaluation found that the legal institutionalization of results in the form of new legislation was not realized during the project’s life cycle. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Sustainable management of mountainous forest and land resources under climate change conditions
GCP/KYR/010/GFF
2022Also available in:
No results found.The project was designed to address the following interlinked barriers preventing sustainable land and forest management outcomes and building resilience to climate change in Kyrgyz mountain ecosystems: inadequate legal framework for sustainable forest and land management, inadequate land tenure reforms, outdated approaches to sustainable forest and land management, and limited capacity of local institutions. The project’s overall objective is to enhance the enabling environment in the forestry and agricultural sectors and sustain the flow of ecosystem services, including enhancement of carbon stocks in forests and agro-ecosystems through the sustainable management and enhanced productivity of mountainous silvo-agro-pastoral ecosystems, and to improve productivity and mountain livelihoods in the Kyrgyz Republic. Overall, the evaluation rated the project as “moderately satisfactory”, with several examples of positive new approaches introduced by the project into forestry, agriculture and pasture management. The evaluation included specific recommendations not only to FAO, but also to the national forestry service. One of the innovative recommendations is to revisit the project sites in five to ten years to check certain success factors, such as the tree survival rates. -
Book (series)Terminal evaluation of project “Capacity, Policy and Financial Incentives for Participatory Forest Management in Kirisia Forest and Integrated Rangelands Management”
Project code: GCP/KEN/073/GFF - GEF ID: 5083
2023Also available in:
No results found.The terminal evaluation report for the FAO-GEF 5 project provides a comprehensive analysis and assessment of the project's relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability. Drawing upon a wealth of data, including project documents, stakeholder interviews and field visits, this report evaluates the project's objectives against the actual results achieved. It offers a detailed examination of the project results and identifies key strengths and weaknesses, key lessons learned, factors that contributed to realization of project results as well as potential areas for improvement. The participatory forest management project was implemented through a partnership between FAO, the Kenya Forest Service, the Kenyan Wildlife Service, Samburu County Government, Kenya Forestry Research Institute, Community Forest Associations and the Suyian Trust. The evaluation assesses the extent to which the project’s global environmental objective (strengthen biodiversity conservation and enhance carbon sequestration) and development objective (improve livelihoods of communities from dryland forest-based products and services) were realized.
