3 | Compile and publish the available report which were prepared by the project and make them available to the public.The project has prepared a number of highly important studies and assessments, while the TE has compiled these in Annex 3 of the TE report, it is an important to ensure the editing of some of these reports given the limited writing quality of some of these reports and convert them into solid publications accessible to the decision makers as well as to the more specialized technical stakeholders. Once the reports are edited, it is very important to ensure that the visibility and accessibility of such publications is easily accessible on the internet and as hard copies if possible. To date, only a limited number of the reports are made available on the ClimaEast website despite extensive press-related and communication information which has been disseminated by the project. |

Management Response: [Added: 2018/11/04] [Last Updated: 2018/11/08]
The recommendation is not possible to implement due to the project completion. Considering that the project indicators were revised in 2016-2017 and despite the proposed revision does not contradict with the existing ones, the formal revision of the indicators at the final stage of the project implementation is not feasible. However, the proposed SMART indicators approach will be considered for the upcoming UNDP projects.

Management Response: [Added: 2018/11/04] [Last Updated: 2018/11/08]
The recommendation is mostly relevant and acceptable. As for the comment on intervention in Sevan National Park: (i) both the coppice forest rehabilitation and afforestation/reforestation activities are important for Armenia’s forest management authorities with no specific prioritization among these approaches, (ii) irrigation of the new forest plantation at an altitude of 1916 m and above was proved during the project implementation as possible and feasible.

[Added: 2018/11/04] [Last Updated: 2018/11/06] |
Project team | 2018/12 | Completed | The pasture management plans (PMPs) for the five communities were finalized in November 2017 and submitted to communities (Tsovak, Makenis, Lchavan, Karchaghbyur, Tsapatagh) for approval by Community Coinsuls. The PMPs were prepared as initially planned by the project: based on national regulations; CARMAC project PMPs were used as samples; PMPs developed for a specific time period and are subject to regular revision by the community administrations; PMP implementation and revision training were conducted in the communities by the project. The draft PMPs were peer-reviewed before finalization as recommended by the Terminal Evaluator during the evaluation mission. History | |
