    The REEFFISH project aimed to enhance the resilience of fishing communities in five African coastal countries in the Western Indian Ocean region. The project supported sustainable coral reef fisheries management, strengthened marine protected areas (MPAs), and improved fisheries value chains. It also addressed illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing and enhanced maritime safety. Implemented through national governments and NGOs, the project provided training, equipment and policy support.The evaluation reviewed the project’s coherence with global, national, and regional initiatives, its effectiveness in achieving results, and its efficiency in adapting to challenges. It also examined sustainability at community and institutional levels, inclusiveness in design and implementation, stakeholder engagement and coordination, and the adequacy of monitoring, evaluation, and learning mechanisms.

    Evaluation of the project “Enhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of host communities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development”

    This report presents the final evaluation of the project “Enhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of host communities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development”. Key findings include the partial success of the farmers' registries, which, despite their importance, did not fully meet their targets due to technical and contextual challenges. The grant schemes provided valuable support but were hampered by process inefficiencies and financial barriers faced by beneficiaries. The project’s efforts in natural resource management successfully met or exceeded targets but raised concerns about the sustainability of environmental gains. The project made important strides in capacity building and provided short-term economic support to vulnerable communities, the sustainability of these outcomes is uncertain. The evaluation recommends continued investment in capacity building, the development of robust exit strategies, and more comprehensive approaches to gender equality and social cohesion to enhance the long-term impact of future interventions.
