Terminal Evaluation of the UNEP/GEF Project “Increase St. Lucia's Capacity to Monitor MEA Implementation and Sustainable Development, GEF ID #: 5197” (2015-2021)

This report is a Terminal Evaluation of the UNEP/GEF Increase St. Lucia's Capacity to Monitor MEA Implementation and Sustainable Development project implemented between 2015 and 2021.The project's overall development goal was to strengthen institutional capacity for the implementation and monitoring of international conventions as a follow-up to the National Capacity Self-Assessment (NCSA) of St. Lucia and to better integrate environmental concerns, and the value of ecosystems, into its broader development framework. 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.
