“Miombo” forests are open forests dominated by the genera Brachystegia, Julbernardia and/or Isoberlinia, which surround the tropical rainforests of Central Africa. These ecosystems, which cover 2.4 million km2, constitute the dominant plant cover of southern Africa. However, the ecosystem services they offer are threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressure. The GCP/DRC/046/GFF project, funded by the GEF, was implemented from 2016 to 2023 by FAO in partnership with the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to promote sustainable management and restoration of miombo forest ecosystems in the south-east of Katanga. The project evaluation, the subject of this report, judges the performance of the project to be generally satisfactory. The report presents the salient results of the project, the lessons to be taken into account as well as the measures to be applied to consolidate the achievements, ensure their sustainability and promote impact.
