Country: Ethiopia

The project’s objective is to build Ethiopia’s capacity for biodiversity conservation through increased effectiveness of protected area management and implementation of measures to reduce Illegal Wildlife Trade (IWT) and poaching. The objective will be achieved through the implementation of four project components.

• Component 1: Protected area management and biodiversity conservation.
• Component 2: Implementation of anti-trafficking measures.
• Component 3: Landscape approach to forest and agro-biodiversity conservation.
• Component 4 Knowledge Management, Gender Mainstreaming, and M&E.

 The objective of the Terminal Evaluation (TE) is to enable the GEF, UNDP and the government of Ethiopia to assess the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the project. The TE will assess achievements of the project against its objectives. It will also identify factors that have facilitated or impeded the achievement of the objectives. The in-depth evaluation is expected to lead to detailed overview and lessons learned for the future and particularly provide recommendations that will contribute to sustaining the outcomes of the project to the stakeholders in Ethiopia.
