Resumen
Descripción
The GEF-funded GCP/CMR/031/GFF project was implemented by FAO and the Government of Cameroon between 2015 and 2023, with the objective of eliminating and controlling risks to the environment, agri-food systems, and population health related to the mismanagement and use of chemical pesticides and empty packaging. The evaluation found that the project is highly relevant and coherent, while its effectiveness and efficiency are moderately satisfactory, and its sustainability and impact are moderately unlikely. This rather mixed performance stems from the factors explained in the report. The evaluation recommends supporting the finalization of initiated activities and continuing capacity building for stakeholders according to the proposed modalities. It should also support the government's efforts to control pesticide lifecycle management costs and develop a more significant project or interventions in this area. The evaluation drew two useful lessons for future interventions.
