The evaluation aimed to assess the progress made towards the impact and sustainability of project outcomes and to detect any design and implementation issues that need to be addressed before scaling up the project’s outputs. The evaluation applied a mixed methodological approach to data collection (quantitative and qualitative). It included structured document analysis and review of primary and secondary sources of information, semi-structured interviews with key informants and direct beneficiaries, focus group (FG) discussions with the community members, and direct site observations (site visits). The evaluation findings indicated significant achievements related to building the capacity and raising the awareness of national and provincial level stakeholders about the importance of the biodiversity conservation agenda and sustainable management of steppe ecosystems in the country. The project facilitated the creation of methodological and technical documents and guidelines as well as strategic and action plans, which serve as valuable and practical tools for the Government of Türkiye to facilitate and replicate further interventions in sustainable management of the steppe ecosystem and biodiversity in the country.
