Terminal Evaluation of the Project UNEP Global Mercury Partnership and Mercury Programme

The project ‘UNEP Global Mercury Partnership and Mercury Programme’ was implemented 2009-2014 and it supported the ongoing work of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership; including support for the Partnership Advisory Group; coordination of the partnership areas and support for the negotiation of the legally binding instrument on mercury. The objective of the project was to reduce the risks to environment and human health from the anthropogenic releases of mercury and contribute to the development of and the adoption of the Minamata Convention in 2013. The Terminal Evaluation was undertaken at completion of the project to assess project performance (in terms of relevance, effectiveness and efficiency), and determine outcomes and impacts (actual and potential) stemming from the project, including their sustainability.
