Terminal Evaluation of the UNEP/GEF Project: Sustainable Land Management and Climate Change Mitigation Co-Benefits (SLM-CCMC) (GEF ID: 5698)

This report is a terminal evaluation of a UNEP/GEF Medium-Sized Project implemented between 2016 and 2021, entitled Sustainable Land Management and Climate Change Mitigation Co-Benefits (SLM-CCMC). The project’s overall development goal was to enhance capacity and tool development toward the advancement of carbon monitoring in sustainable land management projects, thereby illustrating the climate change benefits of having healthy land. The evaluation sought 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. The evaluation has two primary purposes: (i) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and (ii) to promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UNEP, the GEF, other GEF Implementing Agencies, CSU, WOCAT, and the relevant agencies of the four GEF country case projects.
