Synopsis (short abstract) The project’s objective was “to build resilience and reduce the vulnerability to climate change of the marine fisheries and mariculture sectors in the Benguela Current Large Marine Ecosystem (BCLME) through implementation of adaptation strategies”. The recommendations are around: involvement of FAO Country Offices in regional projects to facilitate transfer of activities; funding prioritization after no-cost extensions; institutionalization of the project; and management of joint project budgets. The key lessons learned were on challenges of implementing joint projects in countries with different political economies, importance of national working groups in the coordination of national climate change activities, need to train country coordinators in project and budget management, monitoring and evaluation, communications, and the importance of embedding project into focal ministries/departments for sustainable transitions.

    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.

    Terminal evaluation of the project "Building climate change resilience in the fisheries sector in Malawi"

    The FAO project “Building climate change resilience in the fisheries sector in Malawi” (the FiRM project, funded by the Global Environment Facility), aimed to build climate resilience in Malawi’s fisheries sector, focusing on Lake Malombe’s vulnerable fishing communities. This region faces significant challenges such as overfishing, ecosystem degradation, and increasing climate-related risks. The project began implementation in 2017 and involved climate information dissemination, policy support, and capacity-building efforts to enhance community resilience. The final independent evaluation of the project rated it as Mildly Satisfactory overall. While the project successfully raised climate awareness and supported co-management practices, challenges emerged in sustaining institutional ownership and in delivering lasting climate-resilient practices. Recommendations include streamlining FAO processes, for FAO Malawi to engage in policy influence, strategy in the fisheries sector in the country and promoting local governance capacity, and supporting more business-aligned interventions that meet community needs.
