Final evaluation of the project “Adaptive management and monitoring of the Maghreb’s oases systems”
29/07/2020
The Maghreb's oases systems provide a major contribution to the region's food security, economy and natural resources. Despite this potential, oasis ecosystems are threatened by a range of complex factors related to the expansion of agricultural land and increasing scarcity of water resources.
Final evaluation of the project “Conservation of biodiversity and mitigation of land degradation through adaptive management of agricultural heritage systems"
28/07/2020
The biodiversity enjoyed by Morocco, including its oasis systems, is threatened. The Global Environment Facility (GEF) alongside the government has embarked on a project to improve the conservation and sustainable management of five oasis systems.
Mid-term evaluation of “Participatory assessment of land degradation and sustainable land management in grassland and pastoral systems”
27/07/2020
Grasslands and rangelands make an important contribution to the maintenance of an ecosystem’s function and biodiversity. Degradation is one of the main problems faced by these resources globally. This project was implemented from 2017 to 2021 in Burkina Faso, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, the Niger, and Uruguay.
Evaluation of FAO’s contribution to the Smallholder Commercialisation Programme and to the Global Agriculture and Food Security Programme in Sierra Leone
08/07/2020
The Smallholder Commercialization Program (SCP) in Sierra Leone aims to empower rural communities to increase their food security and income on a sustainable basis. The evaluation covered FAO’s contribution to the SCP between 2012 and 2018.
Evaluation of FAO’s country programme in Lebanon 2016-2019
02/07/2020
Lebanon is an upper-middle income country with a population of 4.5 million people. In Lebanon, the agriculture sector’s contribution to economic growth is small, and the sector receives small investment. The country has been severely impacted by the Syrian refugee crisis. The agriculture sector has been viewed as an important contributor to the livelihood of poor and vulnerable populations, including Syrian refugees.
Evaluation of the project “Capacity Development for Agricultural Innovation Systems (CDAIS)”
30/06/2020
“Capacity development for agricultural innovation systems”, implemented by FAO and Agrinatura from 2015 to 2019, supported the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP) to improve the global coherence of capacity development for agricultural innovation.
Final evaluation of “Conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, forests, soil and water to achieve Good Living/Sumac Kawsay in the Napo Province (FSP)”
24/06/2020
The project aimed to promote the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity, reverse land degradation and deforestation and increase and improve the supply of goods and services from agriculture, livestock, and forestry in the province of Napo.
Final evaluation of the project "Promotion of sustainable land management"
24/06/2020
The project contributed to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 2 and 12, through the application of agricultural practices that increase productivity and progressively improve the quality of soil and land, and by paying for the maintenance of ecosystems and efficient use of natural resources.
