Synopsis (short abstract) 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ecosystems: inadequate legal framework for sustainable forest and land management, inadequate land tenure reforms, outdated approaches to sustainable forest and land management, and limited capacity of local institutions.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.

    Project "Sustainable forest management under the authority of Cameroonian councils" (GCP/CMR/033/GFF; GEF ID: 4800) was financed by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and implemented by the FAO along with the Ministry of Forests and Wildlife (MINFOF) the Ministry of Environment, Nature Protection and Sustainable Development (MINEPDED), and the Association of Forest Communes of Cameroon (ACFCAM) as well as other national partners as executing agencies. The final evaluation found the project was highly relevant to the needs of national governments and of Cameroonian councils, the FAO, and GEF despite gender and indigenous peoples’ issues not being prioritized. Significant capacity building of local council officials, Peasant Forest Committees (PFCs) and Council Forest Cells (CFCs) were achieved on sustainable forest management issues and carbon management. However, due to significant delays, internal governance conflicts and personal issues within the FAO and between national government partners and executing agencies, the landmark paradigmatic change in forest management approach, whereby council forest management plans would integrate sustainable forest management, biodiversity conservation and carbon management components have not been achieved. Project gains are likely to continue beyond the project but this is contingent on actions taken to address financial, institutional, social and environmental risks.

    Terminal evaluation of the project “AVACLIM: agroecology, ensuring food security and sustainable livelihoods while mitigating climate change and restoring land in dryland regions”
    Project code: GCP/GLO/927/GFF - GEF ID: 9993

    The project aims to mainstream agroecology in drylands as a tool to address food insecurity, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and restore degraded land. Launched in October 2019, it was led by the Centre for Actions and International Achievements in partnership with the Environmental Monitoring Group, the Research Institute for Development, Both ENDS, and seven national organizations from Brazil, Morocco, Senegal, Burkina Faso, South Africa, Ethiopia and India. The project was found to be entirely relevant and coherent with national and global priorities in the fields of agricultural development, food security, natural resources preservation and climate change response. Overall, the strong integration of project activities into existing global and national dynamics on agroecology strengthened project effectiveness. It is likely that some of the achieved results will continue after project closure, but others require additional financial resources.
