The Project is a 4-year Project (2010-2014) being implemented by DENR through BMB with a grant from GEF. The Project aimed to expand and strengthen the terrestrial protected areas system in the Philippines by developing new protected area models and build capacity for effective management of the system. These were envisaged through three major outcomes: Outcome 1: PA system of the Philippines has been expanded under new and diverse management regimes (ancestral domain, local government, and community managed areas) to cover an additional 400,000 hectares of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) and with enhanced potential for further expansion; Outcome 2: Improved conservation effectiveness through enhanced systemic, institutional and individual capacities; and Outcome 3: Enhanced financial sustainability of the terrestrial PA system.
The Terminal Evaluation was conducted in January 2016 by a Team composed of International and National Consultants commissioned by UNDP. The activity is composed of site visitation, conduct of KI interviews, meetings with LRPs, DENR Central and Regional Officials, NGOs, NGAs and IP community representatives, and survey questionnaires for site partners not visited.
The Terminal Evaluation team posted an overall rating of Satisfactory for the Project.
