Terminal evaluation of the project "Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change in the Gambia"
Overview
The evaluation project “Adapting Agriculture to Climate Change in the Gambia (GCP/GAM/033/LDF)” found that it was, generally, satisfactorily implemented to achieve its objective to “To strengthen diversified and sustainable livelihood strategies for reducing the impacts of climate variability and change in agriculture and livestock sector”. However, implementation in the livestock sector faced challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and cumbersome procurement processes among others. The project built capacities of implementing partner institutions, CSOs and farmer-based organizations, and supported the establishment of vegetable gardens for increased income and nutrition security of beneficiary communities. The planned animal drinking points, if successfully implemented, will facilitate watering of animals, thereby increasing their production and productivity. Other established schemes like beekeeping, poultry and small ruminants will also contribute to increasing beneficiary income-earning capacities. Additionally, the upgrading of the National Environment Agency (NEA) Lab and training of staff has positioned the agency to contribute towards addressing climate change issues.
