Resumen
Descripción
The project objective was to achieve climate resilience for vulnerable forest ecosystems and rural mountain communities, through the promotion of environmental governance by integrating community-based and ecosystem-based adaptation approaches. The evaluation found that the project was highly relevant and aligned with national priorities, however the limited community participation diminished its significance to targeted communities. While the project showed high technical delivery capacity, delays and staffing issues impacted effectiveness, particularly in fostering community engagement and capacity building. Inefficient time management and an outdated exit strategy further hindered efficiency and reduced the potential for sustainability. The extension's primary value lies in completing the generation of significant forestry data to be accessible through a monitoring unit at the National Center for Remote Sensing, though operationalizing plans remains uncertain. Based on the above, the evaluation recommended to design and implement a follow-up project to facilitate and support a participatory validation process of the forest management plans in the respective communities.
