No results found.The GEF-funded “Integrated ecosystem management project for the sustainable human development in Mauritania” started on 4 April 2019 and ended on 31 July 2025. The development objective aimed to improve the livelihoods and natural resource base upon which rural communities depend in Southern Mauritania. The project objective aimed to increase sustainable human development through the restoration of ecosystem services and an integrated ecosystem management approach in three Southern Mauritania landscapes: El Atf; Triangle of Hope; and Great Green Wall.

Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project "Sustainable management of agrobiodiversity and vulnerable ecosystems recuperation in Peruvian Andean regions through Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems approach"
Project code: GCP/PER/045/GFF, GEF ID: 9092
2025Also available in:
The project aimed to conserve in situ and sustainably use global importance agrobiodiversity through the preservation of traditional agricultural systems, the integrated management of resources, and the maintenance of ecosystem services in 13 districts of five regions in southern Peru. The evaluation identified that the project has high relevance at the national level and for grassroots communities but is less evident at the subnational level. It contributed to the establishment of a model of in situ conservation of agrobiodiversity, with the recognition of two new agrobiodiversity zones and a conservation area. The project faced challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic, political crises and continuous government turnover. These factors and the implementation model affected the project's execution. The sustainability of the project may be threatened by the potential loss of institutional capacity and memory, and the lack of formal coordination mechanisms of public institutions and guarantees of long-term financing. The recommendations focus on consolidating initiatives for the sustainability of the achieved results, making it vital to create formal coordination mechanisms and implementation plans, and to sensitize the new departmental authorities. -
Evaluation reportTerminal evaluation of the project “Sustainable forest management under the authority of Cameroonian Councils”
Project code: GCP/CMR/033/GFF - GEF ID: 4800
2023Also available in:
No results found.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.
