Project Evaluations and Reviews

The Implementing and Executing Agencies are responsible for undertaking evaluations at project end and sharing these with the Evaluation Office. Terminal evaluations primarily aim to generate lessons, but they also contribute to the accountability.

The project has made a great deal of progress with the establishment of the centres and the development of good pedagical materials for courses and workshops. However, some of the activities forseen by the project are not proceeding within the time frame of the project, for example the preparation of course materials by the two Centres most recently established, and active collaboration with other international programmes

FileLake Tanganyika Terminal Evaluation
The project 'Pollution Control and Other Measures to Protect Biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika' (RAF/92/G32) became activite in September 1995 and is scheduled to terminate in July 31, 2000. The UNDP/GEF project budget was $ 10,000,000. UNOPS was the Executing Agency, and the NRI Consortium was responsible for its implementation.
FileGIWA Terminal Report
Global International Waters Assessment project is a holistic and globally comparable assessment of transboundary aquatic resources in the majority of the world’s international river basins and their adjacent seas, particularly in developing regions. A bottom-up and multidisciplinary approach was adopted that involved nearly natural and social scientists from around the world. project provides strategic guidance to the Global Environment Facility by identifying priorities for remedial and mitigatory actions in international waters.
FileMBRS-Project Terminal Evaluation Report
The Global Environmental Facility (GEF) requires that all World Bank-implemented projects nearing completion undergo an independent Terminal Evaluation (TE) to determine the degree of achievement of project goals and objectives, gaps in project execution, outcomes, difficulties, sustainability and lessons learned.

FileAral Sea Water and Environmental Management Project - Implementation Completion Report. 2004. (148 KB)
An accurate rating of project outcomes would be "moderately satisfactory". However, this ICR rates the project as “unsatisfactory,” since no “moderately satisfactory” category exists in the PDS format. The "U" rating has been given for three reasons: First, overall financial management in particular, was weak. Second, the project lacked ownership by the five countries as project implementation was dominated by the leader of the project management and coordination unit (PMCU) based in Uzbekistan; line agencies in the other countries were not properly represented in decision making during project implementation. Third, the project did not achieve the stated objective of reducing withdrawals of water for irrigation by 15% over the project period. This was intended as a target of the overall Aral Sea Basin Program. However, the Water and Environment Management Project documents also show this as a project target. It was unrealistic to state this ambitious goal as the target of a US$20 million project. (p. 2)
FileInternational Waters Project (SPREP) for the Pacific Small Island Developing States - Terminal Evaluation of the Oceanic Fisheries Management Component. 2004. (2.1 MB)
The UNDP/GEF-supported International Waters Project (IW-Project) for the Pacific Small Island Developing States inception and development spanned a period of five years. This included the preparation of a Strategic Action Programme (SAP) and the formulation of a project document covering the Oceanic Fisheries Management (OFM) and the Integrated Coastal and Watershed Management (ICWM) components. This Terminal Evaluation is concerned only with the OFM Component/Project which was executed by the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) and the Secretariat for the Pacific Community (SPC) and which targeted the following outcomes: • sustainable ocean fisheries; • improved national and regional management capability; • stock and by-catch monitoring and research; and, • enhanced national and regional management links.
FileBlack Sea Strategic Action Plan - Terminal Evaluation Report. 2001. (1.4 MB)
The report contains terminal evaluation of an important UNDP GEF project-- RER/96/G32/C "Developing the Implementation of the Black Sea Strategic Action Plan" executed by UNOPS between 1997 and 2000. The project was a continuation of a RER/93/G31 "Environmental Management and Protection of the Black Sea" financed between 1994 and 1997. Both projects assisted Black Sea littoral countries (Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russian Federation, Turkey and Ukraine) in taking steps toward restoration of the Black Sea environment. The evaluated project (RER/96/G32/C) corresponds to the GEF priorities and UNDP areas of concentration. It was implemented timely and responded to the regional demand. (p. iv)
FilePEMSEA - Final Project Evaluation. 1998. (368 KB)
This project has focused on a highly relevant problem: rapid population increase coupled with overexploitation of natural resources and pollution in coastal regions. This set of problems will increase in importance in this region in the future. This evaluation was undertaken by Angel Alcala, Brian Davy and Olof Linden from 03-16 August 1998. The team visited the project sites at Xiamen People’s Republic of China and Batangas Republic of the Philippines. Staff from the Straits of Malacca project visited Manila to brief the evaluation team. Full briefings were given by the PDMO in Manila including provision of all relevant project documents.
FileProjet sur la Biodiversité du Lac Tanganyika - Evaluation finale. 1999. (435 KB, French)
L’évaluation de projet est une activité dans le cycle du projet qui tente de déterminer aussi systématiquement et objectivement que possible l’intérêt, l’efficacité, l’impact et la viabilité du projet en fonction de ses objectifs (Annexe I). En principe, tout projet significatif, sponsorisé par le PNUD fait l’objet d’une évaluation. L’évaluation de l’important projet PNUD/GEF "Lutte contre la pollution et autres mesures pour protéger la biodiversité dans le lac Tanganyika" (RAF/92/G/32) s’est déroulée entre le 28 avril et le 26 mai 1999 (Annexe II). Deux consultants ont contribué à cette évaluation. (p. 13)

Project evaluation is an activity in the project cycle which attempts to determine as systematically and objectively as possible the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the project against its objectives (Annex I). In principle, every significant UNDP-sponsored project is subject to evaluation. The evaluation of the important UNDP/GEF project 'Pollution Control and Other Measures to Protect Biodiversity in Lake Tanganyika' (RAF/92/G/32) took place between April 28 and May 26, 1999 (Annex II).
