Summary
Purpose of evaluation: The overall objective of final project evaluations is to assess the achievement of global environmental objectives and planned project objective and outcomes/impacts as well as the delivery and completion of project outputs/activities . The evaluation will also evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of project design, implementation, monitoring and adaptive management and sustainability of project outcomes. Methodology: In essence the methodology consists of simultaneous use of perception, validation and documentation including stakeholder consultations in order to assess why and how the outcomes of the project have been achieved or were likely to be achieved in Phase2 of the project. Lessons learnt: The evaluation has shown that the established monitoring and evaluation systems were not efffective which was exacerbated by the inadequacy of technical backup and the lack of integration of gender, youth and other marginalised members of the project community in project design. However, satisfactory results were produced including increasing awareness and capacity building of communities involved. Reccomendations: While the project concept is highly relevant to the local circumstances and official national and provincial development objectives an extension is vital to include the full range of public and private sector interests. In particular, community participatory methodology, review and strenghtening Project Steering Committee as well as local human resources development in project management in order to sustain of the intended benefits of the project.
