This report is a Terminal Evaluation of a UNEP/GEF project implemented between 2011 and 2018.The project's overall development goal was “to make the National Biosafety Framework fully operational for the benefit of the people and environment of Lesotho consistent with the provisions of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety”. 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, and the relevant agencies of the project participating countries.
