Terminal evaluation of the UNEP GEF project: Reducing pesticide runoff to the Caribbean Sea

This report is a terminal evaluation of a UNEP GEF project implemented between 2006 and 2012. The project's overall objective was to reduce pesticide runoff to the Caribbean Sea through the implementation of good agricultural practices (GAP) with emphasis on Integrated Pest Management (IPM); periodic monitoring of pesticide levels; and measures to improve pesticide management and the legal/regulatory frameworks in Colombia, Costa Rica and Nicaragua. The evaluation had two primary purposes to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements; and to promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UNEP, interested governments, the GEF and their partners.
