Terminal Evaluation of the Adaptation Fund / UNEP Project: Promoting Climate Resilience in the Rice Sector through Pilot Investments in Alaotra-Mangoro Region

A UNEP-Adaptation Fund project implemented between 2012 and 2019.The project's overall development goal was to demonstrate pathways towards the transformation of the rice sub-sector to make it more resilient to current climate variability as well as expected climate change and associated hazards, through implementation of pilot investments in the Alaotra-Mangoro region that have the potential of being upscaled at national level. 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 Adaptation Fund and their executing partner Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development and the relevant agencies in Madagascar.
