Terminal evaluation of the project “Implementation of the National Biosafety Framework in accordance with the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety”
Overview
This project supports the Government of Sri Lanka in efforts to implement a National Biosafety Framework to meet the requirements of the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety. The project was funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and executed by the Sri Lankan government. The methods used by the Evaluation Team included a desk review, targeted questionnaires, focus group discussions, semi-structured interviews, a capacity assessment tool for trainees involved in the project, and field visits. The project was found to be highly relevant to needs and achieved many of its targets. However, sustainability is hampered by the lack of a legal framework and there are significant financial risks after project closure. FAO should host a strategic-level forum with stakeholders to reflect on findings. Further, FAO and the Government of Sri Lanka should develop a new project phase to invest further on capacity building of key stakeholders.
