Book (series)Terminal evaluation of the project "Community-based Sustainable Dryland Forest Management"
Project code: GCP/GAM/031/GFF
2024Also available in:
No results found.This report presents the key findings, conclusions and recommendations of the terminal evaluation of the “Community-based Dryland Sustainable Forest Management Project” (GCP/GAM/031/GFF) funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The evaluation found that the project was, generally, satisfactorily implemented to achieve its objective to “reduce forest degradation in the northern part of the Gambia through the strengthening and expansion of community-forestry and implementation of sustainable forest management practices”. However, implementation faced many challenges/constraints including the death of the first Project Coordinator, the advent of COVID-19, and procurement and administrative delays which necessitated a no-cost extension of the project. The project has been satisfactorily implemented with positive outcomes, such as improved forest management and entrepreneurship knowledge and skills development of target communities for improved livelihoods. -
Book (series)Final evaluation of the project “Securing tenure rights for forest landscape-dependent communities: linking science with policy to advance tenure security, sustainable forest management and people’s livelihoods”. Main report

No results found.Peru is among the world’s ten mega-diverse countries, Indonesia’s rainforests shelter almost 20 percent of the world’s plant, mammal and bird species, while Uganda forests are home to about 7.5 percent of mammal and 10.2 percent of global bird species, and support the world’s highest number of primate species. Unclear tenure and conflicts are the major factors in deforestation of forest areas targeted by the project implemented by FAO, aimed at securing tenure rights for forest landscape-dependent communities: linking science with policy to advance tenure security, sustainable forest Management and people’s livelihoods. Which results achieved the project, and what are the lessons that can be replicated? To what extent were government institutions and indigenous communities empowered by the project to develop and implement policies and projects that support tenure security, livelihoods and sustainable forest management? These are just some of the questions answered in this evaluation. -
Book (stand-alone)GUIDELINES FOR APPLYING AND STRENGTHENING THE USE OF CRITERIA AND INDICATORS FOR SUSTAINABLE FOREST AND RANGELANDS MANAGEMENT IN THE NEAR EAST AND NORTH AFRICA REGION 2017
Also available in:
No results found.The aim of the practical guidelines presented in this document is to support the adoption and usability of the criteria and indicators (C&I) for Sustainable Management of Forests and Rangelands (SFRM) adopted by the 22nd Session of the Near East Forestry and Range Commission (NEFRC). The guidelines are based on the review of existing literature and on consultations with national experts and relevant institutions in Morocco, Sudan and Tunisia regarding challenges identified in the use of the prop osed C&I for SFRM. It is clear from the consultations with national experts of the three countries that each of their forest and rangelands departments use sustainability indicators in their work on policy dialogue, advocacy and capacity building related to climate change and REDD+. This document details the seven criteria and 33 indicators which together make up the C&I for SFRM in the NENA region. Parts of this guide are based on the existing set of the C&I for SFRM and on other scientific pu blications of the Forestry Department of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Further discussion with resource agencies, forest and rangelands institutions, the environmental community, academia and other key stakeholders is needed to develop and refine linkages between the proposed C&I for SFRM.
