Validated Terminal Review of the UNEP-GEF Project ‘Conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity to improve regulating and supporting ecosystem services in agriculture production in Uzbekistan’ (GEF ID 5403) 2016-20

This report is a validated management-led Terminal Review of a UNEP-GEF funded project implemented between 2016 and 2019. The project's overall development goal was to improve rural livelihood using agrobiodiversity, especially through sustainable farming of local varieties of fruit trees and their better utilization and conservation. The review 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 review 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 Donor1 and the relevant agencies of the project participating countries.
