    Terminal evaluation of the project “Integrated ecosystem management program for the sustainable human development in Mauritania”

    This terminal evaluation reviews the “Integrated ecosystem management program for the sustainable human development in Mauritania”. The project aimed to sustainably improve the livelihoods and the natural resource base upon which rural communities depend in three landscapes of southern Mauritania.  The project activities were largely complete, but outcomes were mostly not achieved. The large size of the project intervention area and spatially dispersed project activities meant that no critical mass was achieved. The evaluation mainly recommended that the GEF and FAO (the implementing agency) ensure that future projects are realistic in scale and scope, have flexibility to respond to emerging local priorities and adopt forward planning to ensure timely implementation; leverage successful models of long-term community-based natural resource management institutions; ensure meaningful stakeholder and community participation.

    Terminal evaluation of the project "Sustainable management of agrobiodiversity and vulnerable ecosystems recuperation in Peruvian Andean regions through Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems approach"
    Project code: GCP/PER/045/GFF, GEF ID: 9092
    2025

    The project aimed to conserve in situ and sustainably use global importance agrobiodiversity through the preservation of traditional agricultural systems, the integrated management of resources, and the maintenance of ecosystem services in 13 districts of five regions in southern Peru. The evaluation identified that the project has high relevance at the national level and for grassroots communities but is less evident at the subnational level. It contributed to the establishment of a model of in situ conservation of agrobiodiversity, with the recognition of two new agrobiodiversity zones and a conservation area. The project faced challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, political crises and continuous government turnover. These factors and the implementation model affected the project's execution. The sustainability of the project may be threatened by the potential loss of institutional capacity and memory, and the lack of formal coordination mechanisms of public institutions and guarantees of long-term financing. The recommendations focus on consolidating initiatives for the sustainability of the achieved results, making it vital to create formal coordination mechanisms and implementation plans, and to sensitize the new departmental authorities.
