Resumen
Descripción
The project seeks to increase the climate resilience of agricultural production and ensure food security through improved ecosystem services from agroforestry, silvopastoral systems, reforestation and assisted natural forest regeneration in seven vulnerable municipalities. The evaluation found the project is on track to achieve its expected results. It remains highly relevant to national priorities, and its activities address the localized climate resilience needs of agricultural producers. High levels of stakeholder coordination, engagement and ownership at all levels helped to advance implementation. External factors led to implementation delays and impeded progress towards mid-term targets in some areas. Early results demonstrate that the productive landscape restoration activities are triggering an environmental recovery at the farm and landscape levels. The evaluation recommends extending the project time frame; reinforcing technical capacities in areas of climate change mitigation; strengthening capacity building and mechanisms to support women’s leadership and economic empowerment; strengthening the project’s monitoring tools to better capture strategic results; and reinforcing the project’s sustainability and paradigm shift potential.
