Mid Term Evaluation for Improved Charcoal Production
Many of the expected objectives /results / products / outputs of the Green Charcoal Project have been achieved. Others have not been achieved to the degree expected at mid – point. Overall, several of the achievements have been positive when they materialized yet there are also several issues with these achieved outputs. National level products (database, survey, database, standards, research, etc.) have been accomplished, laying a baseline for the attainment of policies, norms, financial investments and other products/outcomes sought within the Project and beyond. The implementation and the attainment of products at the district level has been done at a good pace of delivery, notwithstanding issues and challenges encountered at the local level. Capacity building processes have taken place, in particular at the pilot sites, and they have been positive in dissemination of information and in the generation of capabilities, in particular when they were accompanied by demonstration. Extensive awareness raising has taken place, mainly through dissemination of information through media. However, several expected outputs and products are being achieved at a moderate level, yet several barriers, weaknesses, issues, and challenges have been identified which (if acted upon in the remaining implementation period) can positively impact upon the progress toward outcomes and in achieving the Project’s objective in a sustained and sustainable manner.
