Terminal evaluation of the UNEP GEF project: Global biodiversity forum (Phase III): multi-Stakeholder support for the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity

This report is a terminal evaluation of a UNEP-GEF project implemented between 2002 and 2006. The GBF was designed to support implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) with a mission “to provide a multistakeholder mechanism to support and enhance the achievement of the objectives of the Convention on Biological Diversity (conservation, sustainable use, and equitable benefit sharing)”. The objective of this terminal evaluation is to examine the extent and magnitude of any project results to date and determine the likelihood of future impacts. This evaluation also assesses project performance and the implementation of planned project activities and planned outputs against actual results.
