Evaluation of the project “FAO’s Technical and Strategic Support to the Implementation of Mozambique’s Forest Investment Project”
Overview
In partnership with the World Bank, FAO’s "Mozambique’s Forest Investment Project" aimed to tackle deforestation and improve sustainable forest management in the country. The project focused on creating an enabling environment for sustainable natural resource management in the Cabo Delgado and Zambezia provinces, engaging both government institutions and rural communities.The evaluation underscored FAO's key role in developing initiatives like the Forest Management Unit (FMU) model and the Forest Information System (FIS), closely aligning with Mozambique's forestry needs. While these efforts represent substantial progress towards sustainable forest management, their effectiveness and sustainability faced challenges due to operational issues, delays in pilot testing, and external factors. The evaluation highlighted the need of government uptake and addition support to complete the transition to the Forest Management Unit and the full operationalization of the Forest Information System. Recommendations include completing the FIS and FMU implementations, extending project durations for smoother transitions, and establishing comprehensive monitoring from the outset to ensure the initiatives' long-term impact and adaptability to Mozambique's evolving context.
