This report is a terminal evaluation of a UNEP-GEF project implemented between 2003 and 2013.

The goal of the evaluation was assessing the project performance in terms of relevance, effectiveness and efficiency, and determining outcomes and impacts (actual and potential) stemming from the project, including their sustainability.
