The programme aims to boost food and nutrition security while also improving livelihoods. Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the FAO–GEF Türkiye Programme embraces inclusivity and sustainability, with a particular focus on empowering women and youth for rural development and resilience. It addresses the challenges of poverty, climate change, biodiversity loss, and desertification. Türkiye strongly supports the vision of FAO and the four betters: better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life, in order to transform sustainable food systems which are key elements to achieve the SDGs.

    The evaluation aimed to assess the progress made towards the impact and sustainability of project outcomes and to detect any design and implementation issues that need to be addressed before scaling up the project’s outputs. The evaluation applied a mixed methodological approach to data collection (quantitative and qualitative). It included structured document analysis and review of primary and secondary sources of information, semi-structured interviews with key informants and direct beneficiaries, focus group (FG) discussions with the community members, and direct site observations (site visits). The evaluation findings indicated significant achievements related to building the capacity and raising the awareness of national and provincial level stakeholders about the importance of the biodiversity conservation agenda and sustainable management of steppe ecosystems in the country. The project facilitated the creation of methodological and technical documents and guidelines as well as strategic and action plans, which serve as valuable and practical tools for the Government of Türkiye to facilitate and replicate further interventions in sustainable management of the steppe ecosystem and biodiversity in the country.

    Terminal evaluation of the project "Integrated Natural Resources Management in Degraded Landscapes in the Forest-Steppe Zone of Ukraine"
    Project code: GCP/UKR/004/GFF, GEF ID: 9813
    2024

    The project’s objective was to promote the restoration of degraded landscapes in the forest-steppe and steppe zones of Ukraine by scaling up integrated natural resources management practices. The project was particularly relevant in terms of environmental degradation and climate change, as it took important first steps towards a land degradation neutrality monitoring system and integrated land use management plans in Ukraine, thus contributing to the enhanced integration of environmental policy into governance systems.Despite challenges caused by the ongoing war, the project’s activities and incentives stand out as good practices to replicate. The project significantly implemented successful capacity building, which led to increased information sharing and the development of draft laws on environmental protection. Numerous demonstration and capacity building activities on good conservation agricultural practices and enhanced technologies like no till drill, subsurface drip irrigation, crop rotation and sustainable shelterbelt management generated greater awareness. In addition, promising income generation activities for women were implemented successfully.
