Terminal Evaluation of the UNEP/GEF Project: Project for Ecosystem Services (ProEcoServ)

The GEF-funded ProEcoServ project’s overall development goal was to ‘utilise ecosystem assessment and economic valuation to better integrate ecosystem services into poverty reduction and sustainable development planning.’ The project aimed to produce information on the linkages and potential trade-offs between the preservation of ecosystem services and development processes and to pilot the integration of ecosystem service approaches in resource management and decision making within four countries – Chile, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago and Vietnam. The project was implemented 2010-2015. The terminal evaluation aimed to: (i) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and (ii) to promote learning, feedback and knowledge sharing and lessons learned among UNEP, the GEF and the executing partners (global and national levels) and other relevant project partners.
