Book (series)Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Implementing the socio-ecosystem connectivity approach to conserve and sustainable use biodiversity in the Caribbean Region of Colombia"
Project code: GCP/COL/041/GFF - GEF ID: 5288
2021Also available in:
The project “Implementing the socio-ecosystem approach to conserve and sustainable use biodiversity in the Caribbean Region of Colombia” was financed by the GEF, implemented, and executed by FAO. The results of the evaluation highlight the relevance of the project to reduce the degradation and fragmentation of the strategic ecosystems of the Caribbean Colombian area, increase and improve the provision of goods and services from agricultural and forestry production. It was also found a high effectiveness of the project in obtaining the expected results, exceeding in some cases, the established goals. Likewise, the processes and mechanisms implemented by the project for the involvement of relevant stakeholders generated a very high ownership of the project. Due to the successes achieved, the evaluation identified good practices and lessons learned that may be useful for the design of similar projects. Among the main areas for improvement that were identified, is to improve the design of goals related to the impact on policy instruments and the determination of co-financing by the project partners; the institutionalization of the Regional Strategy of Socioecosystemic Connectivities to ensure its replicability and the revision of the tool for monitoring the effectiveness in the management of the GEF. -
BookletEvaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use into Inland Fisheries Practices in Freshwater Ecosystems of High Conservation Value"
Project code: GCP/INS/303/GFF, GEF ID 5759
2025Also available in:
No results found.The “Mainstreaming Biodiversity Conservation and Sustainable Use into Inland Fisheries Practices in Freshwater Ecosystems of High Conservation Value” project, known as IFish, aimed to combine the mainstreaming of inland aquatic biodiversity into resource development and management policy. It also sought to provide demonstrations of conservation and the sustainable use of inland aquatic biodiversity in critical habitats, along with effective monitoring and assessment. The project put inland fisheries “on the map” for Indonesia. Moreover, it truly influenced Indonesia’s policy and regulatory frameworks, demonstrated best practices and strengthened data collection protocols. Capacity building, which still requires additional time and training, was in the early stages at project completion. The project’s sustainability is moderately likely. There is strong national ownership and a clear exit strategy, but certain risks remain. The evaluation provides recommendations that are primarily addressed to FAO and the ministry partner: i) widely disseminate results, lessons learned and stories to maintain momentum and enhance sustainability; ii) build a business case for inland fisheries within three months of project closure; iii) prepare a Project Identification Form to access GEF-8 funding for a potential IFish 2 project; and iv) ensure future projects include a cross-agency project steering committee to streamline synergy and align with related programmes.

After shedding light on the nature of the challenges that agriculture and food systems are facing now and throughout the 21st century, the study provides insights into what is at stake and what needs to be done. “Business as usual” is not an option. Major transformations in agricultural systems, rural economies, and natural resources management are necessary.
