| Recommendations | |
|---|---|
| 1 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation A1 |
| 2 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation A2. Failure and unsuccessful projects are perhaps more important to assess and analyze than successful ones. Key aspects behind failure and success should be analyzed to improve project preparation and selection process. |
| 3 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation B1. Stakeholder´s involvement plan should not only list potential actors and organizations, but it should also describe them and analyze what concrete measures and activities will be carried out to ensure their involvement and participation from the benefits derived from project intervention. |
| 4 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation B2. Communities and host organizations were not involved in project design. It is recommended to improve their participation, especially in setting goals and targets. |
| 5 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation B3. The Ministry of the Environment and Forestry could have played a greater role in project implementation, especially in terms of dissemination of lessons learned and scaling up technologies and practices implemented by communities. |
| 6 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation B4. Involve the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Children Protection in the project design and implementation so that the project’s outputs and outcomes and the data could be used by the MoWECP and at the same time it would also sensitize the ministry of Environment to gender-based natural resources management/governance discourses. The same recommendations also apply to other relevant ministries or governmental agencies |
| 7 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation C1. Report on project indicators should disaggregate between direct and indirect impacts derived from project intervention. There should be a clear indication about what has been achieved through GEF investments and what has been accounted as progress funded by other sources. |
| 8 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation C2. Implementation should allocate sufficient time and facilitate dedicated spaces for PMU and host organizations to ensure a common understanding of project strategy, goals and targets. These spaces to share views and lessons learned should continue during implementation. |
| 9 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation C3. It is recommended that personnel or an organization is given a specific task to ensure the adoption of, or to link, the project outputs and outcomes in national level government. |
| 10 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation D1. Add gender-based qualitative indicators to ensure the long-term changes by increasing stakeholders’ knowledge/awareness on inclusive, if not specifically mentioned as gender mainstreamed natural resources management so that it will strengthen the overall gender responsive/sensitive approach of the project. An activity to achieve this target could be in form of gender equality and social inclusion training for the community members, men and women, grantees and government officials |
| 11 | Terminal Evaluation recommendation D2. Define indicators that qualitatively measure the changes of women and other marginalized groups, leadership in community-based landscape/seascape management. In addition to the gender-based quantitative indicators. For example, setting indicator on women or other marginalized groups’ increasing capacities to speak in public (e.g. women’s group, community’s meeting, speaking to the authorities, depending on the context), in advocating for their rights fulfilment in landscape/seascape management, or increasing positive perception of men and women in regards with women’s roles in landscape/seascape management. An example of activities to achieve this result could be exchange learning programme between community groups (women groups, youth groups, etc.) not only between the grantees |

1. Recommendation:
Terminal Evaluation recommendation A1
The project design has been generally evaluated as weak; it was not an adequate navigation tool for SGP´s implementation. Future designs should make a greater effort in terms of characterizing intervention areas, increased understanding of the ecosystems, providing quantitative data to justify targets and interventions using gender equality perspective. Larger meaningful stakeholder consultation and effective participation during project design could bridge information gaps and improve appropriation.
Management Response: [Added: 2022/03/27] [Last Updated: 2022/03/27]
PARTIALLY REJECT
The project was designed based on experience from previous SGP operational phases which still relied on the global design of the GEF-SGP programme. It is important to note that the process was started at the country level involving multi-stakeholders representing various institutions and local needs, reviewed by regional and global levels, and endorsed by GEF Secretariat (and GEF Council). In this phase, the project was designed using a landscape/seascape approach for the first time.
After evaluating the results of GEF-SGP6 around the world, the SGP Country Programme and UNDP have decided to continue working on a similar approach in the GEF-SGP Seventh Operational Phase (GEF-SGP7) and make a greater effort in terms of characterizing intervention areas, increasing understanding of ecosystem, providing quantitative data to justify targets and interventions using a gender equality perspective and in ensuring greater stakeholder consultation and effective participation to bridge information gaps and improve appropriations.

2. Recommendation:
Terminal Evaluation recommendation A2.
Failure and unsuccessful projects are perhaps more important to assess and analyze than successful ones. Key aspects behind failure and success should be analyzed to improve project preparation and selection process.

Partially accept
The SGP Country Programme did not only analyze only successful grant-funded projects but also unsuccessful ones. It summarized the results of analysis through interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs), and other relevant activities and compiled these findings in the Case Study entitled "Case Study: Experience of Implementation of the GEF SGP Indonesia – UNDP Phase-6 Project in Indonesia."
This process for accessing and analyzing unsuccessful and successful projects will continue when implementing the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP.
We disagree with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry being the responsible entity for this recommendation. In fact, the Responsible Party is the Implementing Partner/NGO, Yayasan Bina Usaha Lingkungan (YBUL). For information and clarification, GEF-SGP has been a project under NGO Execution. It has never been under a National Implementation Modality (NIM). The Responsible Party has been an NGO (in this case is Yayasan Bina Usaha Lingkungan) that signed a Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA) with the UNDP Country Office in Indonesia. The Project Document (ProDoc) has only been signed by UNDP Country Office in Indonesia.

3. Recommendation:
Terminal Evaluation recommendation B1.
Stakeholder´s involvement plan should not only list potential actors and organizations, but it should also describe them and analyze what concrete measures and activities will be carried out to ensure their involvement and participation from the benefits derived from project intervention.

In the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP, the SGP Country Programme and UNDP strengthened the stakeholder engagement plan to include potential actors/ organizations and explained their roles and analyzed what concrete actions and activities will be undertaken to ensure their involvement and participation.
For this specific project, we do not agree with the Ministry of the Environment and Forestry being listed as entity responsible for this recommendation. Indeed, the GEF-SGP has been a project under NGO Execution. It has never been under a National Implementation Modality (NIM). The Responsible Party has been an NGO (in this case is Yayasan Bina Usaha Lingkungan) that has a Project Cooperation Agreement (PCA) with UNDP Indonesia.

4. Recommendation:
Terminal Evaluation recommendation B2.
Communities and host organizations were not involved in project design. It is recommended to improve their participation, especially in setting goals and targets.
Management Response: [Added: 2022/03/27] [Last Updated: 2022/03/27]
REJECT
From project design to evaluation process, the SGP County Program always invited and involved the community as evidenced by the fieldwork reports prepared during project design, monitoring reports, and internal evaluation reports. At that time, host organizations were not selected yet. Therefore, they were not considered involved in the project design by the evaluation. However, the SGP Country Program invited potential Host organizations to engage in the stakeholder consultation process. In accordance with SGP Operational Guidelines, the host organizations were selected after (1) the project document (prodoc) was endorsed by GEF CEO; (2) UNDP Indonesia received Delegation of Authority to sign the prodoc for implementation; (3) National Steering Committee (NSC) was established, and (4) Small grant mechanism was established and endorsed by the NSC. During the project design (preparation), accordance with GEF SGP Operational Guidelines, UNDP was not supposed to disburse any grant (funds) without proper mechanism.
The SGP Country Programme and UNDP have decided to continue working on a similar approach in the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP and will involve communities and potential host organisation in project design, especially in setting goals and targets.

5. Recommendation:
Terminal Evaluation recommendation B3.
The Ministry of the Environment and Forestry could have played a greater role in project implementation, especially in terms of dissemination of lessons learned and scaling up technologies and practices implemented by communities.
Management Response: [Added: 2022/03/27]
Partially accept
In future projects, the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP, the SGP Country Programme and UNDP will continue to collaborate with MoEF (or KLHK) through the active involvement of GEF Indonesia secretariat office, GEF OFP as co-chair of the NSC of GEF SGP, social forestry activities, and the ICCA registry (part of the Directorate General of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Conservation program under MoEF). the SGP Country Programme and UNDP will encourage MoEF to get benefit from GEF SGP project and disseminate of SGP’s lesson learned at national and global level.
We disagree with the statement of Ministry of the Environment and Forestry as the Responsible Party. It is to clarify that GEF-SGP has been a project under NGO Execution. It has never been under a National Implementation Modality (NIM).

6. Recommendation:
Terminal Evaluation recommendation B4.
Involve the Ministry of Women Empowerment and Children Protection in the project design and implementation so that the project’s outputs and outcomes and the data could be used by the MoWECP and at the same time it would also sensitize the ministry of Environment to gender-based natural resources management/governance discourses. The same recommendations also apply to other relevant ministries or governmental agencies
Management Response: [Added: 2022/03/27]
Partially accept
During the formulation of the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP project document, only certain government and other relevant government agencies at local level (village, sub-district, district, and provincial) were invited for consultation. This practice was conducted in the preparation of Sixth operational phase of the GEF-SGP and it continues in the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP. The SGP Country Programme will involve the MoWECP during implementation of the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP.
We disagree with the statement that responsible entity is Ministry of Women Empowerment and Children Protection. GEF SGP is a project using an NGO Execution mechanism (and not a NIM). It has been focusing on activities that have been implemented at the grass root level. The project is meant to create a balance of international support to ensure sustainable development at local levels involving grass roots with National Implementation Modality (NIM) projects.

8. Recommendation:
Terminal Evaluation recommendation C2.
Implementation should allocate sufficient time and facilitate dedicated spaces for PMU and host organizations to ensure a common understanding of project strategy, goals and targets. These spaces to share views and lessons learned should continue during implementation.
Management Response: [Added: 2022/03/27]
Fully accept
Since the implementation of the sixth operational phase of the GEF-SGP, the SGP Country Programme and host organizations have attended a series of workshops to ensure a common understanding of project strategy, goals and targets. In fact, the SGP Country Programme also opens a discussion session for each host organisations to conduct daily consultations. This space for sharing views and learning continues throughout implementation. It is even more often carried out during the COVID-19 pandemic by holding regular bi-monthly meetings between hosts and between implementing partners. The SGP Country Programme will continue to provide space to share views and lessons with grantees-partners and host organizations during the implementation of the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP.
SGP Country Programme will develop work strategy better to host organisation therefore they have enough time to ensure common understanding of project strategy, goals, and targets.

During project design of the seventh operational phase of the GEF-SGP, a gender analysis action plan has been developed and defined (on annex 9 of the ProDoc). However, it is currently missing indicators that qualitatively measure the changes of women and other marginalized groups, leadership in community-based landscape/seascape management. It is proposed to include such indicators as part of the project inception workshop. Progress towards achievement of the gender mainstreaming targets will be monitored and evaluated on an annual basis, at a minimum. Results will be documented in project implementation review (PIR) reports and other progress reports. Gender mainstreaming results and lessons learned will be shared as part of the project’s knowledge management strategy, and experiences on SGP project's will be input for project management.
